Your Majesty.
In 1975 you decided, in your role as head of state, to dismiss a sitting Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, the then PM of Australia. This was around the failure to pass Supply Bills through parliament and not law breaking or any sort or misconduct.

the relevance of the monarchy in this, your platinum jubilee year, than this judicious use of your powers. Conversely, not to act begs the question, what are these powers for, what are the monarchy for, if they fail to act in such a grave situation?
