More than 47,000 Australians have signed a petition in recent
weeks, calling on the Governor General to dissolve parliament.
The change.org petition asserts that the federal government has
exhibited a 'disregard' for the rules governing the conduct
of its own ministers, as well as ignored their corrupt
behaviour.
It also raises questions about the government's failure to
deal with a range of important issues, including
climate change, and says that the reign of the Liberal National
Party (LNP) has contributed to a range of issues affecting the
nation, including:
- Robodebt and resulting damage, including depression and
suicides
- Aged people on unrealistic waiting lists for Home Care
services
