Where is the promised constitutional review?

On the 2019 campaign trail, the nation was promised a comprehensive constitutional review by the party then, and now, in power.

To be sure, talk of a constitutional review had been with us for a long time, seen generally, as an opposition pretext, to better their electoral fortunes. Each time, the subject has been raised, ruling party stalwarts have maintained that the Constitution has served us well. In fact our Vice President not so long ago, suggested that all it needed, was a few amendments, a position inconsistent with what was preached on the campaign trail.

Lawyers, politicians, and the citizenry, generally agree, that our Constitution is overdue, for a comprehensive review. The few that do not, mainly fall within three, broad categories; those who have an investment in the status quo; those who have no idea the Republic can be better than what it is today, and those who simply cannot be bothered. It is true that the liberal Constitution donated to us, by the colonisers, has served us well. But then so has every personal garment, that the same proponents have, in their lives, fixed, or discarded.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
