Talking Shop: Sir John Kerr. Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC); originally aired on Wednesday, 11th November 1987. Lawyer and broadcaster Geoffrey Robertson and then-former Governor-General of Australia Sir John Kerr discuss the constitutional issues central to Kerr's dismissal of the government of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in November 1975. They discuss the case for codifying the reserve powers of the Governor-General, and the case for Governors-General necessarily being experienced constitutional lawyers. They examine the circumstances of - and leading up to - the dismissal, and the personal vilification that Kerr subsequently suffered. They also explore the possibility of an Australian republic.
