WfaAR National Convenor, Sarah Brasch, talks with representatives of Real Republic (Lindsay Marshall and Peter Johnstone) in Brisbane in a very broad-ranging discussion covering stances on the Republic referendum, possibilities for moving things along if there is a change of government at the forthcoming federal election with Labor pro-republic and pro-referendum. There was also extensive discussion about the contents of the ARM’s Australian Choice model published in January and ways it could be improved and expanded (see News Item of 12 January 2022). Both parties considered this to be a useful and timely meeting of minds on topics of common interest.
