At broadly the same time, references to the monarchy were being removed from various institutions. For example, in 1993, the Oath of Citizenship, which included an assertion of allegiance to the Australian monarch, was replaced by a pledge to be loyal to "Australia and its people". Earlier in 1990, the formula of enactment for the Parliament of Australia was changed from "Be it enacted by the Queen, and the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Australia as follows" to "The Parliament of Australia enacts".
