Vic: Nationals reject country change
Victoria's National Party has rejected moves to include the word country in its name.
The name-change motion has been defeated comfortably at the party's state conferencein Shepparton.
National Party leader PETER RYAN says he's pleased with the result.
He says the name change would have been a step back 27 years to the time when the Nationalswere known as the Country Party.
Mr RYAN says the party should get into the politics of the future, not the past.
The National's slogan is Country First, but those in favour of the name change believedthe party's allegiance to country Victoria had to be more explicitly stated.
