 Illegality and the Crown: royal and viceregal intervention.
But the vital phrase is "almost empty historical form": although the Queen’s representative is reduced to being a witness, the role enables him to exercise the famous rights "to be consulted, to encourage and to warn" as a non-politician observing politicians.
How much notice they take of his advice depends on them; the transient nature of viceregal office implies he won’t have the lifetime’s experience of such briefings that lends weight to the Queen’s advice, although the fact he’s a distinguished Australian suggests life experiences that would make his opinions worth hearing.
The blanket statement that a Governor should allow "all legal questions which are at all susceptible of argument to await determination at the hands of the judicial power", if applied as a universal principle, creates a logical absurdity.

Our political leaders rejected this "viceregal" model during the nationalist movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and again during the democracy movement of the 1980s.Yet when they assume state power, our leaders seem to fall back on the same "viceregal" model.
When a system persists for a long time as this "viceregal" system has, we have to realize that there are enough powerful interest groups inside and outside the country (in a donor dependent country, one has to take into account external actors), who are benefiting from the system and sustaining it.
The majority of our citizens may not be benefiting indeed they are suffering but they can do very little to change the system except to throw the incumbents out through the exercise of their votes.
