Professor Klaas Woldring - Perth, Australia - The Echo

Description

I am writing to thank Professor Woldring for his very interesting article about the Australian Constitution.
I know nothing about such matters, but to hear how out-of-date it is, is disturbing.
And yet it suggests vast potential for reform and improvement.
I thought, for example, how interesting was the information that Cabinet ministers don't necessarily have to be MPs.
How illuminating.
Perhaps the whole business is like those jobs we all have around the place, like cleaning the windows, that we know need doing but it always ends up at the bottom of the list because the bathroom really needs to be done first, and after that, we've run out of energy

Perhaps there needs to be established a working group charged with just the job of constitutional reform, and at each time just a particular aspect, e.g.

the position of women and issues of equality between the sexes, and be given a set period of time to sort it.

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echois about.
More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online.

If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
