Coming up to the fiftieth anniversary of the November 1975 dismissal of Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam's government by Governor General Sir John Kerr, expect a flurry of print and digital media discourse on this tumultuous and controversial period of Australian political history. Former Attorney General George Brandis is getting in early.
Even if this article is written by a former federal Liberal politician, it is still pertinent to remind that in 1970, when he was Opposition Leader, Whitlam unsuccessfully attempted to block supply to then Prime Minister John Gorton. I was not aware of that.
