The Governor-General needs to step in and dismiss the Attorney-General ("Labor fears office's 'integrity' at stake", October 26). If the Attorney-General remains then the position of Solicitor-General will remain compromised. A compromised Solicitor-General cannot provide unbiased and non-partisan advice which means that there can be no confidence in any legislation passed by our current parliament. Brandis needs to go so that faith in our justice system can be restored. Unfortunately our current Prime Minister is not in a position to govern his own party. Thus the Governor-General must step up and fulfil his constitutional duty to restore faith in our government and the rule of law. As Brandis is a Senator and not in the House of Representatives his dismissal would not have any effect on the balance of power and his replacement could simply be chosen by the governing party.
