Margaret Rolfe says Current System Needs to be Fixed

Margaret Rolfe writes to The Canberra Times again. This time she says in refutation of David Barnett’s article that “Royalty protects us from tyranny”, that the Governor-General does have independent political power and cites the 1975 sacking of the elected Government without reference to our head of state. She writes the system goes back to colonial days, with power supposedly reverting back to Britain, but no longer works – it needs to be fixed.
