The worst, most damaging, corrupt, destructive, divisive event ever inflicted on #Australia was the sacking of the #Whitlam government. Who knows where we'd be now. ๐ #auspol

I remember #Whitlam
my hope is that somehow the cream will raise to the top
my sense is #Rudd could've introduced more regs on miners & more ๐ฐon gas exports
I think #Shorten might have focused on a more just society
neither were quite a #Whitlam
but they tried
๐๐it's up to the backbenchers

Correct Barbara. #Herzog 's visit was ostensibly to apply serious political pressure to the #Australian government and establishment.. direct threats if you will. Always remember that apart from #British interference, #America, the #CIA and #Mossad were heavily involved in the #Whitlam dismissal!

Todayโs article from @amyremeikis.bsky.social is both a good wrap up of where #AusPol currently stands areas full of so many quotes that I may as well have just copied the whole article (although it was hard, I limited myself to just one paragraph).
I did like her comparison to what #Whitlam [โฆ]

Can you imagine what #Whitlam would have to say to the fascist #Albanese?
#GovernorJohnKerr would have more in common with #Whitlam than the fascist #Albanese and the rest of this corrupt Reich. ๐คฎ

I still hate the #CIA for getting rid of #Whitlam
We couldnโt be allowed a #SocialDemocracy with free basic needs met!
Thatโs #communism (itโs not).
I miss #Medicare as it was intended. #Australians donโt understand that we donโt have #universal #healthcare anymore - except those who try to use it.

Best of 2025: The cloud of American involvement in the events of November 1975 is unlikely to ever clear. Especially while US presidential libraries continue to block access to critical documents that might shed further light on the shenanigans going on. #auspol #Whitlam #theDismissal

The Dismissal pushed me more to the left politically. I had been too trusting of the powerful and wealthy. I saw first hand that a governor-general, justices of the High Court and subsequently the Queen and her advisers were untrustworthy. JM #Auspol #theDismissal #Whitlam

Best of 2025: Fifty years after the dismissal of #Whitlam, it is a national disgrace that the full story is still yet to be told, as more than a thousand files relating to the dismissal remain closed by the National Archives of Australia. @palaceletters #auspol

๐ฆ๐บ๐ข Australian PM Gough Whitlam: if he were here today, weโd have a Royal Commission into pro-Israel lobbying in Australia. Referenced points why in substack in comments.๐

๐ฆ๐บ๐ข๐ฅ Ever notice Royal Commissions are only called downwards โ never upwards?
This uses Whitlamโs 1975 dismissal to ask why Murdoch and foreign lobbying have never faced scrutiny.

Fifty years on, ageing baby boomers are still pretending most people at the time didn't hate #Whitlam & weren't happy to see him go.
They ignore Whitlam's failure to negotiate a good deal with Europe on agricultural exports as the UK entered the EU.

โToo many people will tell you, readily enough, that the lesson of #Whitlam was trying to do too much in too short a space of time. But I donโt think the answer to that is to do too little over a longer piece of time.โ #Auspol

Fck the ALP.
Spineless servants.
Absolutely NOTHING.
At least Rex Connor had a shot at controlling this countryโs resources.
Guess we can chart the demise to #Neoliberalism not long after #Whitlam.
Shame Australia Shame.
Youโre nothing but an exploitative colonial bunch of aspirationals.

Attached is a short read from Professor Jenny Hocking, the person whose unrelenting work on The Dismissal led to the release of the โPalace Lettersโ (amongst other things).
The article is worth a read.

Before Gough Whitlam died, Malcolm Fraser presented Gough with his book โDangerous Alliesโ. He had inscribed in the book โ โDear Gough, with great respect and affection, Malcolm.โ My eyes misted over. JM #auspol #whitlam #Fraser

John Menadue stayed on as the most senior public servant in the land, after the trauma of the Dismissal. He details what life was like working with PM #Fraser. Given his closeness to #Whitlam, some of his conclusions are surprising.ย #auspol #johnmenadue #theDismissal

Cartoon by David Pope. Text: Perhaps it's a generational thing ... Three figures stand side-by-side wearing t-shirts: former AUS Labor PM Gough Whitlam (It's time). Current AUS Labor PM Anthony Albanese (...) and newly-elected NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (To Afford to Live and Afford to Dream). Whitlam says to Akbanese: "There's a certain sartorial flair, wouldn't you say, comrade?"
Outstanding rebuke of PM Albanese by cartoonist David Pope. #auspol #Whitlam #Albanese #Mamdani #CostOfLivingCrisis

Gough faced a lot of problems not of his making & a hostile media but many other MPs have faced similar issues.

Clearly voters at the time thought the positives from #Whitlam were outweighed by the negatives.
They were sent packing after one term.

They need to take lessons from the past: have a grand vision for this place & run with it. But nope theyโre ALL #Neoliberals now & it IS truly SHOCKING.
Whilst not perfect; fck this lot were impressive with what they tried to achieve๐
