Prime Minister Remains Silent on Treason Accusations against Fraser, Kerr

^{BY J J Jamesonson}

TWO DAYS after his government announced it was 'charging' former prime minister Malcolm Fraser and former governor-general John Kerr with treason, without a judicial hearing, the prime minister has remained tight-lipped over the affair.

On Tuesday night, Attorney-General u/model-putrid made an announcement stating the government was 'charging' the two men with treason over their roles in the dismissal of the Whitlam government in 1975.

National Review published an exclusive article yesterday demonstrating that there is no legal basis for the government to make perform such an action.

Despite media reaching out to prime minister u/Gregor_the_Beggar, he has made no public comment on the announcement.

One member of the government has spoken to National Review on the condition of anonymity stating that they do not agree with how the government has managed this incident.

Labor leader u/dyljam has capitalised on the silence of the prime minister, saying that the prime minister is either 'embarrassed' or 'knows that the move is incredibly reckless and dangerous'.

'The prime minister's silence on this matter is absolutely staggering.'

'The government has performed a highly illegal, highly defamatory, highly autocratic and undemocratic move and the prime minister sits back and believes he shouldn't be expected to comment.'

'You would expect this kind of action from a fascist government, not an Australian government.'

While the government is likely hoping this issue will fade into obscurity over the following weeks, the Labor leader says this is unlikely to be the case.

'We will pursue this fascism relentlessly. We will not surrender,' said u/dyljam. NR
