National Convenor, Sarah Brasch, meets with ARM Executive Director, Sandy Biar, in Sydney. The main topic for discussion was Direct Election. A useful exchange of views and mull over the details with general agreement about how we could directly elect a Head of State – other than ARM still not giving any thought to how any campaign for the Republic should or might be affected by Indigenous Recognition. It is encouraging to see ARM shifting its stance to encompass all possibilities for the eventual Republic campaign.
