''If you are going to start the practice in which the new incoming
government has royal commissions chasing its predecessor, then there'll
be payback and the next incoming government will do it, too - and you
can ultimately make democracy as we know it, and understand it,
unworkable,'' Mr Fraser said.
Mr Hawke said it was ''almost beyond belief that the government could
contemplate doing anything which breaches what is now a more than
century-old tradition here, which has been respected by governments and
parties of both persuasions''.
