Professor Anne Twomey on Recall Elections

Описание: Anne Twomey is Professor of Constitutional Law in the Sydney University Law School.

In this interview with Professor David Flint, she answers questions on the law -- and not the policy - relating to recall elections.

Following an undertaking made during the 2011 election, the New South Wales O'Farrell government commissioned a report on the subject.

This is presently under consideration by the NSW government.

Recall elections have been discussed in an ACM publication and on n the ACM site in a consideration of the reserve power of the Australian Crown vested in the Governor-General ( and indeed the Governors) to dismiss the government on constitutional grounds: "Reserve Powers, Recall Elections" http://www.norepublic.com.au/index.ph... .
