- Summary:
-
Connolly attacks the Mabo decision of the High Court on the ground that Australia before 1788 was terra nullius as nomadic people cannot occupy land; argues High Court was legislating in making that decision; Smith argues against the republican referendum on the grounds that it is unnecessary and that the debate will divide the country; the present Constitution will serve the country well in the future.
