Listen "What if the Prime Minister Refuses to Hold an Election?"

Episode Synopsis

How would a government hypothetically go about destroying democracy in Australia and how could they be stopped? Today I explore all the various legal ways to prevent a corrupt government from holding power indefinitely and refusing to hold elections, and then I point out how extreme a government would need to get before those legal protections fall apart. Fun.
