Female Opinion on Constitutional Change

Kathryn Kelly of Chifley ACT writes to The Canberra Times about finding a third way to solve the problem of selecting a head of state to meet the objectives of both parliamentary appointment and direct election supporters.  While WfaAR doesn’t  think this proposal will suit direct electionists because it isn’t direct enough  – it takes selection away from the people who will only endorse the choice of the parliament – we are pleased to see a woman speaking in the public domain about the republic and constitutional change, and making suggestions for solving the head of state selection impasse.
