Selecting a Governor General - seeing we are sophisticated enough to choose MPs - nominate persons for National Honours, surely we can also be part of the process of appointing the Governor General?

Seems pre-July-2023 the current person holding the office will demit so a process could start say in March 2023 asking for nominations as with National Awards the same people could process the work.

Short list issued after vetting and put to an online “vote of preference” four candidates four votes in preference order.

Cabinet would ratify that person who received the most preference votes. Sole exclusion required clean police record can’t be a sitting MP or Senator.

New Day? Let’s see. Let the people control and get who the people want not a political person of a particular party in office and we stuck with that person for four-five years.
