"The Governor-General is President of the Federal Executive Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Defence Force.[1] "
Um, I switched to the Governor General's site instead because wikipedia isn't 100% reliable as a primary source. Specifically that bit you bolded isn't sourced.brogan77 said:lol you're such a tool sometimes slidey. you google so much shit and then want to argue semantics.
you said wikipedia originally, see...right there:
who gives a fuck if u later edited and put the constitution in, i wasn't referring to that...and the fact remains the queen doesn't decide anymore in practice...she approves.
and if you had've read the wikipedia article properly, you would've seen an entire section on it...see..."Method of appointment"...which goes through all the wanky nuances of it:
argue about the meaning of decides if you want but in the truest sense of the word, the Prime Minister "decides" who the Governor General should be from amongst the suitable candidates and then presents this selection to the Monarch who officially "approves" or "appoints" the individual selected to the position.
Wank wank wank i win the semantics wank.
aww fuck up man. You're having a spack at me because I don't 100% trust wikipedia and checked a more reliable source. wtf.brogan77 said:conclusion: slidey is an argumentative wank that got owned and still can't let it go.
