64.1 This section will be deleted because:
▸    Under the Advancing Democracy model, Ministers will be appointed by the Prime Minister, not the Governor-General, and the latter will have no role in determining which Departments of State will be established; and
▸    The section contains references to the Executive Council and Queen which will be redundant.
64.2 Section 64 will be replaced with:
▸    Section 64A, which will provide for the Prime Minister and Deputy to be appointed in accordance with the majority vote in the House of Representatives, and for Ministers to be appointed by the Prime Minister, subject to any resolution by the House; and
▸    Section 67A, which will deals with the requirement for the Prime Minister and Deputy to be a member of the House of Representatives and for Ministers to be members of Parliament.
