Here is a real issue for those of you that appreciate openness and honesty.
Professor Jenny Hockey is asking for some documents that were exchanged between the Governor of Australia (in the day) Sir John Kerr and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II the Queen of Australia.
The documents pre date what is refered to as "The Dismissal" when Sir John sacked the Whitlam Government.
The documents were classified (by Kerr) as private and confidential. The Professor contends that these documents may reveal an exchange between the venerable couple that are pivotal and helped determine the future of Australia. Being marked as private and confidential means they are held away from public view until at least 2016 and may ONLY be revealed with the permission of the Monarch and the Governor General.
The Professor says that they are neither personal nor private and should be available for perusal as are so many other documents that are of the same nature.
Their unveiling may give us an answer as to what advice Sir John may have received from The Monarch and how informed she was at the time....
The Professor has set up a crowd funding site for the legal costs. I don't have the webpage address yet (URL).... I will update this post when I have it.
