	Whitlam Dismissal: Sir John Kerr
		The time has come for the truth about Sir John Kerr to be known, for he was, in every sense, a better man than the one who made it his life's work to humiliate him.
		Sir John and Lady Kerr had a deep love both of England and of France and they enjoyed the time they spent in those countries with all the enthusiasm and cultivated appreciation that was so characteristic of both of them.
		I think Sir John was a little sad that he would not have the opportunity for what might have been a chance occasion for a personal reconciliation.

	The Dismissal
		John Robert Kerr is made the representative of the British crown in Australia.
		Kerr wants to confer with the Supreme Justice, but the prime minister tells him not to consult the head of the court.
		Labor supporters were furious, but because Kerr said that Malcolm Fraser could only be prime minister over a temporary care-taker government for a short while until elections decided the issue, it does not seem such a terrible decision that Kerr made.

		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 John Kerr gave no inkling to Gough Whitlam that he would intervene in the constitutional crises, indeed; perhaps the most controversial aspect of Whitlam's dismissal is the lack of consultation between the parties prior to the sudden dismissal of Whitlam on November 11 1975.
		Sir John Kerr famously invoked the Doctrine of Necessity as a justification for his actions (vii.).
		If Sir John Kerr's legacy was that he stirred the republican debate in Australia, it is most certainly a legacy His Honour did not wish to be credited with.
