Do You Want a Republic Without Details?

I think memories of what happened with the Republic referendum may even be affecting Mr Turnbull, but anybody asking, how do you get a constitutional referendum up? I think there's this view that could be taken that the Republic referendum failed because there was so much detail. But part of the issue lay in the fact that these were very well worked out models. People could understand very specifically what they meant and enough people didn't like the model that was being proposed in all of its detail. And it's actually one of the reasons why our Constitution has been so successful is that it has profoundly deep roots of consensus across the country.
