Summary: Homosexual Law Changes (Press, 15 October 1985)
On 15 October 1985, a letter was published expressing the view that a contentious bill should be settled through a referendum rather than through Parliament. The author, R. L. Laurenson, argued that it is unreasonable to expect Members of Parliament to adequately represent all of their constituents on such divisive issues. Laurenson advocated for a more democratic approach, suggesting that a referendum would provide a fair platform for the public to express their opinions and reach a resolution on the matter that is causing widespread controversy across the nation.
