2025 ACM National Conference

Australians for Constitutional Monarchy invites you to the 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE DISMISSAL - THE NEVILLE BONNER ORATION

A TRIBUTE TO SIR JOHN KERR

To be delivered by Lieutenant Colonel Peter O'Brien (Retd), Author of Villain or Victim - A Defence of Sir John Kerr.

The Governor-General is no mere figurehead. He or she is invested with the viceregal reserve powers and important constitutional checks and balances, as dramatically demonstrated fifty years ago when the solution to a political crisis was handed to the Australian people by Sir John Kerr.

MAKING GOVERNMENTS ACCOUNTABLE UNDER OUR 'FEDERAL COMMONWEALTH UNDER THE CROWN'

A number of prominent constitutional monarchists and national leaders will comment.
