And so I think it's an important feature.

We've got to have faith that we as electors...

and can send messages about what kind of people we want in the parliament and in government.

And then every few years, that's judged by the Australian people.

Yes.

It's not quite like that.

And the warning language, the consultant warning is embedded in the conventions of the role.

So I use that more as the term.

It's more... No, no, it's right.

That is the word.

But it's more to say that the relationship must be one of continual trust...

that we are playing very different roles in this system and that if I see from what I see around the country or I observe in executive council when I'm seeing the delegated legislation coming through, appointments, treaties, if I sensed that something was awry...

It would be my job to speak to the ministers in executive council.

I think you might look at this.

And in my regular meetings with the prime minister, which are formal, and about every couple of months, I would share with him what I'm seeing.

And he could share with me, but I'm not trying to influence him politically.

I'm not warning him in the sense that if you don't do this,

I have powers.

It's more, I can see this.

I'm sure you're aware of this, Prime Minister.
