Sydney Daily Telegraph columnist , Malcolm Farr, says a republic is the next vital constitutional step.
I replied in this letter to the editor:
Sir,
So Malcolm Farr thinks a republic is our ‘next vital constitutional step’.
You have to solve two problems first, Malcolm.
Devise a republican model manifestly better than, or at least as good as the present one. (The taxpayer spent a fortune letting you test your last one.)
Then overcome the fact that nobody -apart from the elites –is the slightest bit interested.
Yours Sincerely
David Flint
