Personally I've always liked the guy. But come on. It's basically his JOB to talk.
Unwanted yes. Unnecessary maybe. Illegal no.
I believe there is a law specifying set dates for elections (a law put on the books by the guy who now has chosen to ignore this law) as to prevent politicians from calling elections for political purposes. By my estimate it makes the election illegal. Put him (and all of them) in jail. The honest politician has not been born yet.
Fixed election dates are designed for majority parliaments. It still allows the government fall when they lose the confidence of the House which everyone agrees it has. It also permits the Governor General to dissolve Parliament according to her royal prerogative. Illegal it is not.
Almost all gone....
