Dear Len,
No, I didn't have that. Thanks. I've printed off that page. Apparently
Senators Stott Despoja and Bolkus started it on Thursday 26 June 2003....or,
did they? The rest of the Senate certainly "agreed to" it. Why did Phillip
Bailey leave off the second part which says, "That the committee facilitate
wide community participation in this inquiry by conducting public hearings
throughout Australia, including rural and regional areas"?
Yours sincerely,
John Wilson.

Dear Mr Clampett,
Senate References Committees conduct inquiries and report to the Senate
on matters that have been referred to them by the Senate.
On 26 June 2003 the terms of reference you identified in your email were
referred to the Committee for inquiry and report.
I have attached the relevant hansard. The relevant motion is on p.
12651.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me on (02)
6277 3494.
Kind regards, Phil Bailey.

Acting Secretary
Senate Legal & Constitutional Committee
Dear Mr BAILEY,
Could you please advise when it was that The People of AUSTRALIA gave a
Mandate to the FEDERAL PARLIAMENT to make AUSTRALIA a REPUBLIC, or to
investigate such a move, taking into account the fact that The People
have specifically rebutted such moves in the past at referendum?
Thank you for your time,
Leonard Clampett
