Constitutional duties
The Governor-General has specific constitutional and statutory powers. The Governor-General acts on the advice of Ministers who are responsible to Parliament (and ultimately, through elections, the Australian people).
Key constitutional duties include:
- Presiding over the Federal Executive Council
- Facilitating the work of the Commonwealth Parliament and Government
- Dissolving Parliament and issuing writs for a Federal election
- Commissioning the Prime Minister; appointing Ministers and Assistant Ministers; and swearing-in other statutory positions
- Holding and possibly exercising the Reserve Powers.
Under the Australian Constitution, the only action performed by The King is the appointment of the Governor-General (on the advice of the Australian Prime Minister).
That’s basically what happened. Except IIRC they wanted to give the queen plausible deniability so she wasn’t notified of the Governor-General’s actions till after the fact.

So if he wanted to, rhe king could appoint a new governor general, choosing one who would disolve parliament?
