One Nation Senator Len Harris said discussion about the Windsors was usually emotional and of no substance but “behind the guff in women’s magazines was a reality that the royal family constitutionally protected Australian citizens”. Senator Harris does not shy from mentioning the Queen unlike other supporters of the NO case. He also says that he has spoken at 122 public meetings in the last year and gathered the views of ordinary citizens – about 82 percent of people he has spoken to are against the republic. Reported in The Australian.
