@CanberraInsider @AuSenate So what do we do in a Constitutional Crisis? What happens then? No privy council?
@lianaallan @CanberraInsider We rely on our own conventions and institutions (incl. gov-general's reserve powers) as occurred in 1975
@AuSenate @CanberraInsider v. Interesting. Is there a link to the GG's reserve powers to look at? Thanks!
