The lack of a treaty with the Indigenous People, has left Australia with unfinished constitutional business. However, the potentially valuable idea of the Crown injects into a competitive democracy a constitutional core that is apolitical and inclusive of all. By reference to the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Palace Papers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, comprising correspondence of Governor-General Sir John Kerr and the Queen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Personal Secretary in 1975, the article shows that, in the dismissal of Prime Minister Whitlam, the Palace correctly understood, and complied strictly with, the reservation of all relevant steps to the Governor-General at Yarralumla. To the extent that conventions were breached and wrongs occurred, these were on the part of actors in Australia not London. The difficulties and debatability of changing Australia to a republic are explained and explored.<\/p>\n Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n The Crown in Australia: From James Cook To Charles III, Another Perspective<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Geoffrey Robertson AO QC<\/p>\n Michael Kirby argues that the Crown serves as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153constitutional core that is apolitical and inclusive of all\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. On the contrary, it embodies an outdated hereditary principle at odds with modern Australian values. It is of no real use, other than as a frippery, to the business of government and is only necessary to those who like to show off. The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Palace Papers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d reveal that during Australia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1975 political crisis, it was the Crown that failed in its duty to direct its representative to confine himself to advising and warning the elected government, rather than dissolving it. The Queen herself is an international treasure, but her passing will permit Australians to decide whether for the next century they will be reigned over by white Anglo-German protestant males \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Charles III, William V and George VII \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or by an appointed or elected Australian president, or (preferably) by nobody.<\/p>\n Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n A Response to Geoffrey Robertson QC<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c The Hon Michael Kirby AC CMG<\/p>\n Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n OBITUARY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Click here to access on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n For the PDF\u00c2\u00a0version of the table of contents, click here: Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 95 No 7 Contents<\/a> or here: New Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ALJ Vol 95 No 7 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on New Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n\n
