The palace papers revealed the royals knew and had discussed the possibility on a handful of occasions well before the sacking, even going so far as to discuss preemptively that the monarch would not wish to take the advice of the prime minister in replacing the governor general "If such an approach was made you may be sure that The Queen would take most unkindly to it" as written by her personal secretary.

Further, the vice regal is an extension of the regal. Nek minnit you're gonna say, oh the US president only ordered drone strikes, it was actually the drone operators who did the killing!

Monarchy being non-political my arse. And this isn't the only time the royals have been seen to favour the conservatives. No surprise there of course, there is no struggle other than the class struggle.

Fuck the Queen, fuck the monarchy, fuck the conservatives for withholding supply, and fuck the governor general.

(Not fuck you, though, even if you do like the royals)

I'm all for making Australia a republic, and thanks for that, I hadn't heard that the dismissal was discussed by the Queen, but of course the GG could and can consult with the crown if they're unsure of the correct path and the regent of the day is willing to take their call
