Judith Brooks, one of our Victorian members, speaks at a dinner organised by Labor for an Australian Republic in Melbourne. She injected some passion and commonsense into the menu of ideas about how to move forward. Women republicans focus on the best way to get through the plebiscites and referendums – and engage voters. They do not get themselves snared in the debates on the myriad ways/methods to select the head of state. This has been the case for years now.
