compare this to Rudd's dismissal speech, and the decline of the Labour Party becomes clear. Say what you want about Whitlam, at least he took it like a man

@JohnoUsenko Sorry, I mean "Free education". Free election is, of course, a good thing. :)

Whitlam was a litany of good ideas that didn't work. I work in education, and we're still cleaning up the mess of unintended consequences caused by the "free election" concept.

one of the recent Governor generals got in trouble for something and this quote came up i even wrote the quote thread on the smh.com website. I think they removed it

@h44512 wrong, he got dismissed. An election was called,he got beaten. Voted out. Its not that I think he sucked,its the majority of Australians who thought he sucked
-
@yourgasm he didn't resign, he was sacked. FORCED out. we're never going to come to a conclusion on this. i don't think he sucked, you did. the end.

Face it,Whitlam sucked,got his ass kicked at 2 elections & resigned. I don't like Keating myself but at least knew the importance of economic reform. Hawke & Keating did more for this country than Whitlam. Here's a reflection of 1975 fed election, Liberals gained 30 seats,Labor lost 30,suffered a 7.40.
Pulled Australian troops out of Vietnam, introduced free tertiary education, put finishing touches on the abolition of the White Australia Policy, universal healthcare - medibank. These are facts. Maybe you should provide some to back up your comments.

@petergills5555 hahahahaha you joker. Go live in Somalia you free market worshipping retard, I'll take a social democrat who recognised that we all pay our fair share to make our nation great before some "hurr we can't increase taxes or have a fair wage, our industry will never survive" toting dickhead.
