This really is the nub of this whole charade. Will the citation be put before the people? Section 5 states: "The several amendments of the Constitution effected by this Act shall be collectively known as and may for all purposes be collectively referred to as the Thirty-second Amendment of the Constitution". Is that all the people will be presented with when they go into the ballot box on the referendum day? If it is, it really is a pig in a poke because it does not take account of the 40 references-----
