[ national convention of republicans presentation ]

On February 6 and 7, 1999, the National Convention of Republicans was held at the National Convention Centre in Canberra. YAR was fortunate enough to be asked to give an hour long presentation about youth issues at the forthcoming referendum.

The speeches presented by YAR were:

Kirtsten Andrews [SA]: Blonde Chicks aren't the only Young People
Terry MacDonald [VIC]: Cynicism not Apathy
Ryan Heath [NSW]: Pat us on the backs, and not on the heads.
Sandy Pitcher [ACT]: Don't censor us!

Young Australians for a Republic also released two press releases to coincide with the National Convention of Republicans, and these are available at the following links:
