FED: Democrats Senator says he ll vote against republic bill

Australian Democrats Senator ANDREW MURRAY says he'll vote against the republic referendum
legislation in the Senate.

Senator MURRAY says the proposed republican model is fatally flawed because it gives a
prime minister the right to dismiss a president.

He says he'll vote against the bill to set up a referendum, but his Democrat colleagues are
likely to vote in favour.
