Presidential power needed

Mike Conroy's expose "Why was Minister devious?" (Peninsula News, 24 Jan 2011), reveals how things are done in the big smoke by a corrupt and underhand government.

And what can you do or who can you send for?

Nothing and no-one, only a pencil on a piece of paper once every three or four years.

What needs to be done is a change to our constitution to allow the Governor-General or an elected president to call a committee of inquiry with total powers, so that a dishonest or incompetent government can be sacked.
