I forgot to add that history will be the ultimate
arbiter as to whether Gough Whitlam acted in the
long-term interests of the Australian nation and its
people.

Sounds like the clown Rudd is writing an application for gentle treatment of his total stuff up of government.

He must be hoping that by lying about Whitlam's lasting damage, others will lie about his.

Dear Hasbeen,

We owe a debt to those that went before and made
this country what it has become - one of the
great successes of the world. This is a legacy
that hopefully will continue with those who will
take us into the future.

Dear Hasbeen,

An old Cherokee told his grandson:

"My son, there's a battle between two wolves inside
us all. One is evil. It's anger, jealousy, greed,
resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is
good. It's joy, peace, love, hope, humility,
kindness and truth."

The boy thought about it and asked:

"Grandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old man quietly replied:

"The one you feed."

Those 'negatrons' and 'haters' must have been Labor and Greens supporters. Because it was their changed votes that swept Whitlam and his self-serving, incompetent crew from office.

When the Labor stalwarts vote in their droves against the Labor government you would think that the penny would drop.

Whitlam and his 'Progressives'* rapidly screwed up the economy hugely, even worse than the 'Progressives' that followed: Rudd ('Big Australia' like Gough) and that Julia Whatsherbloodyname -you know, the one with the $2million bungalow in Adelaide.

*After assuming office, Gough became infatuated with the Melbourne leftist 'Progressives' push, aka International Socialists, and aka the 'Wolves in Sheep's Clothing', the Fabians of course.

'Progressive' seems to coincide with social problems and failed budgets, among other nasties.

When it come to knowledge of Whitlam and his government, the poor unfortunate Beach is living on a steady diet of indigestible 'Murdoch Muck', straight from the septic tank itself complements of that vexatious minion of Uncle Rupts his favorite love child, Miranda Devine. Judging by your total lack of political knowledge with this comment "Those 'negatrons' and 'haters' must have been Labor and GREENS SUPPORTERS. Because it was their changed votes that swept Whitlam and his self-serving, incompetent crew from office." Beach you knowledge of Australian politics knows no bounds. Whitlam left office in 1975, The Australian Greens were formed in 1992.
May I inquire where you were between 1972 and 1975, still in nappies I suspect, if you were anywhere at all.
As usually Beach, you display a complete lack of political knowledge, relying on rubbish from the 'NoNews' master, to formulate an opinion. If nothing else you are consistent.

Hasbeen, you have spent too long in that hot tropical sun old chap, no doubt in 72, you were a disciple of the criminally insane one, voting Joh Bjelke Petersen, and loving it!
