What makes you think younger people will change it?
The older generation were younger when they voted in the 1999 republican referendum.
And what happens when we get a President who decides to actually use any of the powers vested in them under the Constitution (currently vested in the Governor General, but by convention not actually practiced).
The Governor General has immense powers in the Constitution, all of which have never actually been exercised (barring the dismissal).
A transition to a Republic would require virtually a rewrite of the Constitution, or at a bare minimum a line in the Constitution that made conventions legally binding.
