Women were again successful with increased numbers in the two-yearly elections for the 12 member Australian Republican Movement Branch committees in each State and Territory: NSW (7); Vic (3); Qld (3); SA (3); WA (4); Tas (4) NT (4); ACT (3). The National Council, however, has only two women out of 17 members. Women now make up 38% of membership of the Australian Republican Movement.
