Good fun, akenaton. As a little aside, the song mentions watching the telly news, which showed Gough listening to the Secretary read the declaration and responding with the now famous "Well may we say 'God save the queen' because nothing will save the Governor General!"
One of the reasons the ABC has such good coverage of the moment is because there was a crew there to do a Norman Gunston interview. For those who may be bewildered, Norman Gunston was a character (played by Gary McDonald) who satirised the whole process of interviewing the rich and famous. The Dismissal definitely upstaged even Norman Gunston.
What a pity Norman wasn't around to interview The Shrub.
