Absolutely!  go for the small safe change, and forget the
insincere and meaningless waffle.

Makes sense if you listen to Tony Abbott that politicians can't be trusted.

If you can't trust one of them, why vote for his preamble?
And why let him choose a HOS alone, make him share the process
with his political enemies... it's called "keeping the bastards honest"
they only way you can.

(If you think you will elect someone else to do it for you.. you
just create another politician.. but that was obvious wasn't it!  ;-)

Yes, that does sum up Tony Abbott's argument against the Republic.

Costello pointed out something very interesting on Meet the Press
(Channel 10 30/10/99); after the referendum the Liberal conscience
vote is ended, there will be ONE Liberal part policy, binding on all
members of the party!

Now even a political amoebae like Power Mad can work out what that
means...  with only Peter Wreath pushing the Direct Election chimera,
it is obvious that if a NO vote is carried, Liberal policy will be THE STATUS
QUO!

The "people will have spoken"...      END GAME!
