The response indicating that the submission of a budget proposal to the public is not typical in the double dissolution process is accurate. In a double dissolution scenario, the focus is primarily on the dissolution of the Parliament, which includes both houses, and the subsequent calling of elections to fill all parliamentary seats. This process is often initiated due to a deadlock between the two houses over proposed legislation.

During a double dissolution, the Governor-General dissolves both houses, and this is followed by a new election where all parliamentary seats are contested. While budget proposals are a crucial aspect of parliamentary procedures, they are not a defining feature of the double dissolution process itself. Instead, the focus is on resolving legislative deadlocks and the ensuing elections rather than the conventional budgetary process engaged by the government. Therefore, the submission of a budget proposal does not occur as a typical action in the context of a double dissolution.
