No meant no
At a time like this, with Australia going through a very bad economic time which is likely to get worse, it is very difficult to understand senator Bob Brown putting forward a plebiscite for an Australian Republic Bill.
The last plebiscite on the same (1999) was not a minimal "no", but a resounding "no".
I, along with many others, understood that the outcome of the 1999 plebiscite would be final.
How anybody else in government can allow such an unnecessary thing to happen is completely beyond my understanding.
The enormous amount of money required to go towards another inquiry into whether we should have a Republic or not is obscene at a time like this.
