Platinum Jubilee

[WTF11]

We all feel the same way and respect the people in the UK for the support they have for her and the monarchies its what happen that time that I lost all respect for her again its only my point of view. And yes I know all about the corrupt politicians all over the world but this guy was so different till his dying days.
Forty-five years ago, Australia’s most popular Labor prime minister, a man whose face and words still adorn fashionable tote bags, was sacked by Queen Elizabeth II’s representative

"Queen Elizabeth II's representative", as I said in an earlier post, do some research on how a constitutional monarchy works, and a bit about your own government. Then you might wish to aim your ire at those actually responsible for whatever happened, it certainly wasn't HRH.

Actually, Oz has this one spot on right. The Governor-general who is the Queen's representative does and did have the authority to dissolve government which he did. Whether there other factors in play which led to him doing so is not relevant to Oz's statement - effectively the Queen exercised her power and dissolved government which meant its Leader - Gough Whitlam was sacked.
