		Barwick did not tell Henderson or Donald that Mason knew, or that he had told Mason, that Kerr had sought and received contrary advice from me, Enderby and Byers.
		On the ABC Barwick repeated the doctrine which he set out in his letter to Kerr on 10 November 1975: "A government having the confidence of the House of Representatives but not that of the Senate, both elected Houses, cannot secure Supply to the Crown".

		Sir Garfield Barwick was the Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia.
		He is famous for advising Sir John Kerr on the constitutional legality of the possible dismissal of a Prime minister who could not obtain supply.
		He is often seen as repsonsible for the dismissal of Gough Whitlam, as it was this advice that Kerr used as a basis for the dismissal of Whitlam's Government, in contravention of Whitlam's explicit instructions not to seek Barwick's advice.

		Barwick was against travelling on the grounds that it was inefficient, disrupted the work of the Court and involved the Court using borrowed facilities which were inferior to the facilities available in Canberra.
		Barwick CJ did, however, make an important contribution in moving away from Dixon CJ and Kitto J’s exclusive focus on ‘the legal operation’ of a law toward the practical operation of the law in the context of ss 51(i), 90 and 92.
		Barwick CJ also succeeded in persuading the government to pass the High Court of Australia Act 1979 (Cth), which vests the administration of the Court in the Justices and provides for the Court to expend the funds directly appropriated to it by Parliament.

		He joined the Association for Cultural Freedom, a conservative group (later revealed to have received Central Intelligence Agency funding) and became a friend of Sir Garfield Barwick, the Liberal Attorney-General who became Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia in 1964.
		Kerr asked Garfield to advise him on whether he had the constitutional power to dismiss Whitlam, and Barwick advised him, in writing, that he did.
		Since the advice Barwick gave Kerr became central to subsequent events, it is important to note that this advice was entirely informal and personal.

		Sir Garfield Barwick was the longest serving Chief Justice of Australia and the abolition of appeals to the Privy Council from all Australian courts so far as the federal jurisdiction and decisions of the High Court is concerned was significant and historic.
		It is a tribute to his resourcefulness as a scholar as well as the generosity of his country that Sir Garfield educated himself with the assistance of bursaries, reached the bar, the Ministry and the bench.
		For over 20 years Sir Garfield Barwick endured vicious personal attacks from his former political opponents and critics for the tenor of the advice he tendered to the late Sir John Kerr in November 1975.

		This interview with Sir Garfield Barwick was broadcast on 11th of November, 1983 at the time of the publication of his book Sir John did his duty in which Sir Garfield argued that the Governor General Sir John Kerr was constitutionally obliged to dismiss Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1975.
		Sir Garfield Barwick: Well I would not have thought so but I’ve noticed that the press men keep at it and these labour partisans of whom you spoke keep at it and I notice that in the film, the epilogue put the whole opprobrium of the incident onto the Governor General.
		Sir Garfield Barwick was a federal Liberal MP who served as Attorney General (1958-64) and Minister for External Affairs (1961-64), and was subsquently appointed Chief Justice of the High Court (1964-81).

		For forty years Sir Garfield Barwick stood at the centre of power in Australia.
		He was the Chief Justice who broke down the tax laws, dramatically advanced the power of Canberra and gave Sir John Kerr the constitutional imprimatur to dismiss the Whitlam government.
		Barwick is the portrait of a complex and driven man who began life in the Sydney slums, a man totally committed to the exercise of power and utterly certain of the rightness of his beliefs.

		Whether it was a breach of propriety for Barwick to have advised the governor-general at all became a matter of fierce partisan controversy, as did every opinion in the letter itself.
		The most contentious of them was Barwick's view that, since the Senate was refusing to pass supply, the government had lost the confidence of Parliament and could be sacked.
		Barwick's advice can still get an argument going among constitutional lawyers, but among politicians it seems to be only testimony to their short memories.

		It was only after a lapse of 18 years, in an ABC interview with Gerard Henderson, that Barwick revealed that, at Kerr's request, he showed his letter to two other justices, Sir Anthony Mason and Sir Ninian Stephen, later Chief Justice and Governor-General respectively.
		Gerard Henderson has related elsewhere that Barwick was offended by Kerr's request for Mason's opinion; Barwick thought that Kerr should have been satisfied with his opinion alone.

	Prosecutor's Request No 4 of 1974 [1975] PNGLR 365 (28 November 1975)
		The majority of the Court held that the only possible conclusion from the evidence was that the respondent made false pretences with the intention of inducing the householder to part with her money, that he had the intention of depriving her of her money by deceit and that he therefore had the intention to defraud.
		With respect I agree with Barwick CJ that the intention to defraud is a separate element of the charge and that whilst the intent may be inferred if no more is known than that the accused obtained money by false pretences, the intention to defraud is not necessarily established by proof of those elements alone.
		There was not what Barwick CJ aptly described as “pervasive dishonesty” running through this case, although, as I have indicated, I believe there was a degree of dishonesty running through the Western Australian case.

		Sadly for Ross Garfield Barwick, the closest he'll ever get to his father's old stamping ground, the High Court, is his 1999 appearance as a litigant, when he successfully challenged the NSW Law Society's attempts to have him struck off.
		Both Barwick - a one-time political aspirant, having contested the federal seat of Parramatta for the Libs - and his former partner, Roman Dechnicz - who was the Ukrainian Olympic attache for the Sydney Games - were struck off.
		For instance, when Everil Wilkinson (his father's secretary when a minister in the Menzies cabinet) died, Barwick, who was trustee and executor, borrowed $38,000 from her estate without informing the beneficiary, Rosaline Fulton, who once worked for Sir William McMahon.

	A Radical Tory: Sir Garfield Barwick and Us. \| stoush.net
		I was actually given a flying start, propelled into a long-lasting fascination with Sir Garfield Barwick, Chief Justice of the High Court, Attorney General, Minister for External Affairs, finger in every pie, whose legacy lives on as his 18 years of seminal judgement continues to affect decisions like Electrolux and, more recently, the WorkChoices case.
		I was nourished on a concise and secular theology of duality, of Whitlam and Barwick, spending my earliest years listening to my politically avid father rant about Barwick’s role in The Dismissal and his stoushes with Lionel Murphy.
		I can just picture entire neighbourhoods pausing for three minutes over their meat and two veg, as the stentorian tones of Corona Barwick address the surrounds in a mile-wide diameter, then rushing out to object only to be commandeered by a portly supreme court justice into helping to dismantle the speaker system or something.

		As a result of the advice, Sir Garfield Barwick, who remained Chief Justice until 1981, was, until the day he died, widely identified in the public eye with having compromised the political neutrality of the office, rather than with his considerable achievements: that he had been, for example, Australia's foremost
