Nothing like putting a woman in charge is there to thoroughly screw everything up..
They even have to explain her bias..
Men in the past have been unbiased as well as apolitical, carrying out their duty with dignity and honour but not this politically appointed feminist. It is truly laughable..
No conflict for Governor-General Quentin Bryce, says Solicitor-General
GOVERNOR-General Quentin Bryce would not have to step aside if she was called on to settle the political deadlock in Canberra, despite Labor powerbroker Bill Shorten being her son-in-law.
Government House today released legal advice from Solicitor-General Stephen Gageler that said Ms Bryce does not have any constitutional or other legal impediment that would impede her performing her job.
In her letter to Mr Gageler, Ms Bryce said circumstances could require her to be “playing some role” in settling the deadlock and “integrity and trust” were of the upmost importance.
Her daughter Chloe is married to Mr Shorten and Ms Bryce said “it has been suggested in some quarters” this might create a conflict of interest.
Mr Gageler said in normal circumstances the G-G would take advice from the PM but in “extraordinary circumstances” the GG might have to exercise “her own deliberative judgment”.
He said extraordinary circumstances “cannot wholly be excluded”.
But he said former G-Gs had been politicians and maintained personal relationships with politicians and that did not disqualify them from holding the office or performing the job.
“Where they exist, connections and relationships of that kind must be recognised as realities. They fall to be managed as a matter of prudence, not of legal obligation or legal impediment,” he wrote.
“My advice to Her Excellency is that the marriage of her daughter to Mr Shorten gives rise to no constitutional or other legal impediment to the proper discharge of her functions of office.”
