975 Words4 Pages

THE MCGARVIE MODEL The McGarvie Model was created by Richard E McGarvie, a former Governor of the State of Victoria in 1993. SELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT Under the McGarvie model, a Constitutional Council would be established to select a President. This Constitutional Council would consist of former Governor Generals, with the most recent receiving priority, then to former State Governors, Chief Justices of the High Court, Lieutenant Governors, High Court Judges and Federal Court Judges. The Constitutional Council would replace the role of the Queen, with its significant power exercised in the ability to select the President. APPOINTMENT OF THE PRESIDENT The President of Australia would be, under the McGarvie model, selected and appointment …show more content…

ROLES & POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT The President of Australia, under the bi-partisan model, would have the same roles and powers that the Governor General enjoys today. THE KEATING MODEL The Keating model is the model put forward by former Prime Minister Paul Keating in 1995. SELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT A future President of Australia, under the Keating model, would need to be nominated by the Prime Minister and cabinet of the day. This nomination would then travel to a joint sitting of the Senate and House of Representatives to be voted on. APPOINTMENT OF THE PRESIDENT The appointment of the President would occur in a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament, where a two thirds majority would be required for a successful nominated candidate to be elected President. A President would be elected for one term of 5 years, and would be ineligible to seek a second term. REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT The Keating model provides a means of removing the President of Australia through a joint sitting of both the Senate and House of Representatives, where a two thirds majority would be required to remove the President. ROLES & POWERS OF THE …show more content…

The electoral system to elect the President would not involve any preference deals, eliminating a lowest common denominator winner. The successful candidate would be elected President until the next regular, periodic election. REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT In creating a President using the Copernican model, the President would be above the politics of the country and simply perform ceremonial roles. Because the President is not involved in the political life of Australia, it is suggested that they should only be removed “to maintain the apolitical nature and dignity of the Head of State” (APH). This implies that a President can voluntarily resign or be pressured to resign by the Governor General, Prime Minister and Governors, triggering another election so that the people can choose a new President. ROLES & POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT The Head of State would, in this model, perform the ceremonial duties of a national representative. Because the Governor General’s position is retained in this model, those roles and powers would not transfer to the Head of State. Instead, the Head of State would only have 1 other power, which is codified, the ability to “appoint and dismiss State Governors at the behest of the Prime Minister”
