McDowell hits back at mounting opposition to citizenship vote

JUSTICE Minister Michael McDowell yesterday hit back at former US Congressman Bruce Morrison and rights campaigner Sister Stanislaus Kennedy for opposing the June 11 citizenship referendum.

"The only sensible thing is to vote Yes," he insisted. "I haven't heard a good argument from Sister Stan yet as to why it is sensible to vote No.

"And I listened to Bruce Morrison on the radio this morning and I think he was talking about subjects about which he doesn't know very much," said Mr McDowell.
