1 person, appointed by the Queen. In this case it isnt a "slippery slope" where technically it could happen etc it happened.

"The 1975 Australian constitutional crisis, also known simply as the Dismissal, culminated on 11 November 1975 with the dismissal from office of the Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam of the Australian Labor Party (ALP), by Governor-General Sir John Kerr."

Later it was alleged that Kerr had acted for the United States government in dismissing Whitlam.

There is actually a lot to one day come out about that interesting period of time.
