Conventions should be codified as it allows no debate on wheter it should be followed or not. Take for example, in 1975 *Im not so sure on the year*, a supply bill was blocked in Aust.. Thus, the parliament was abolished and a re-election occured. However, the main point here is that the reason behind the blocked supply bill is that they werent following the BWS. In laymans terms, if it's stated in the library BE SILENT, would you be silent? Now, in the similar situation, remove the signs of BE SILENT, would you still be silent? As for me, I wouldn't. Thus, it's preety safe to say, conventions should be codified into the constitution. Regards.
