Abstract
As this is being written, the Governor General of Australia, Dr. Peter Hollingworth, has not resigned. Yet over the previous weeks and months he must have been thinking about it long and hard. He has been under intense pressure from various quarters, based on allegations that in previous positions of leadership he had not handled some sexual abuse incidents appropriately. In pondering what he should do, he must have been considering the many and varied arguments on both sides of the case. He must, in short, have been deliberating about his future.
