The answer is, of course, a.
Just as the Liberals views in homo***uality have ****fted with time
(People in single-*** relation****ps were publicly encouraged to join
the party in 1995), Party views on the Republican debate are influenced
by the grassroots member****p.
Brendan will be thrilled to know that I successfully spoke _against_ an
anti-republican motion at the NSW State Convention late last year.
The most recent issue of the member****p form from which I took the
"We Believe" tract does not include the reference to the constitutional
monarchy. I will get around to re-keying it soon.
David Moss,
