“Our disappearing Republic”

In an interview on ABC Radio Melbourne, writer Amanda Lohrey says that she is interested in searching for “our disappearing republic”.  WfaAR associate, Judith Brooks, quipped in reply that she knows how to lure it from its hole, “The Australian Republic is, like many Australian animals, nocturnal, rarely seen by day and spends most of its time hiding from its historic predators: Mythic Glory, Sentimental Duty and Rationalised Subservience.”
