| Message | If, or when this bill fails, we would like to hear what it would take for the Liberal Party to actually support the abolishment of the monarchy. Naturally, one would assume a party such as theirs would be against the whole idea of a monarchy, we would be interested to see their actual stance. Alfred Williams, Chairman of the UNWF Workers’ Council |
