  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "Well may we say God save the Queen."

    rabble rabble rabble rabble

    "Because nothing will save the governor-general."

    RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE

  • gooooooooooo whitlatm

  • 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.
