And spot on Kalin1 about reality. but I can't agree that "the electorate made his (Whitlam's) government pay for wandering off on a reform program that exceeded the electorate's appetite".
The electorate had already voted for the Whitlam Gov't twice in 2 yrs and was granted a Senate majority in the 2nd election.
The subversion of that power (by un-democratic and scurrilous means through the death of a Labor senator) caused the Govt to be forced to a third election in 3 years , after being dismissed.
Along with this, media campaign's were waged with bottomless budgets, designed to discredit and overwhelm our Govt by unknown? . The Media baron's themselves perhaps?. In addition, facts were kept secret from the electorate for security reasons and had the electorate known these facts, their vote may have been different, in a Claytons election.
Malcolm Fraser became our first officially appointed Pm/caretaker (by royal decree) according to our constitution, since Federation. The Voters/democracy had nothing to do with it.
And Peter the Believer, some people think religion is crystal ball gazing but accept other peoples rights to gaze anyway they want.
