That's assuming Turnbull goes to the GG on time and the GG approves the double dissolution.

That means the Government has until 14 July to call the election. Or is that hold the election? The wording appears to be ambiguous.
I think what's happened is that I wasn't very clear. I was saying you have until May 11 to be able to dissolve parliament before the 6 month limit kicks in. The House of Representatives first sat on Nov. 12 2013, so it expires on Nov. 11 of this year. May 11 is the 6 month end limit. So we'll find out by Wednesday what kind of election we'll be having.
