What if the Prime Minister Refuses to Hold an Election?

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

How would a government hypothetically go about destroying democracy in Australia and how could they be stopped? Today I explore all the various legal ways to prevent a corrupt government from holding power indefinitely and refusing to hold elections, and then I point out how extreme a government would need to get before those legal protections fall apart.

This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
