Get over it. Why the hell do we need this shite dragged up 45 years after the event, an event heartedly endorsed by electors, who gave Labor the bum's rush at the ensuing election. We don't need to be reminded of the stench left by Whitlam.

Firstly let me begin by re-stating my position as a staunch monarchist.
Yes it's true.
Now as for this sick maggot of a so called professor, trying so hard to find dirt on the monarchy, all she has done is exposed herself to be a nasty and biased, somewhat petulant prostitute who sold her soul and virtues to the highest bidder.
It was patently obvious she had failed in her capricious attempt at trying to find fodder for the republican movement.
It brought back flashes of when that other capricious maggot lost her attempt at becoming the first POTUS!
Listening to the ABC news this morning, I find the presenters trying to justify or make a case against the sacking of Whitlam, by saying he had no knowledge of what Kerr was about to do, when he clearly did.
Anyway, as I have said on many occasions here on OLO, Australia is part of the Queens inheritance, and as such she OWNS this land, fair and square, as was the rules and practice when it was first discovered/claimed and then colonised, in the name of Queen Victoria.
As much as the plebs of this country absolutely hate the idea of Royalty and being beholding to a higher authority, I'm sorry but this IS the way it IS, and the only reason you won't find the palace objecting to one of her countries wanting to become a republic, is because it's not a good look today to send your own army against your own people, even though that is and was the correct course of action.
If/when the pleb majority of this country decide to foolishly push for a republic, we will be lowering ourselves further into that pit of suppression and the loss of even more freedoms and rights.
Having a Monarch, gives us protections against not only external aggressors, but also internal ones, as the dismissal of Whitlam clearly demonstrates.
And as a last word.
The Queen is not as lax as the stupid plebs in this country, to allow ANY trace of Whitlams sacking lead back to her.

the regressives again caught out trying to rewrite history. They will still rearrange the 'truth' to fit their lying narrative. They get phd's in lies.

The BBC points out that there are many intriguing aspects
about the "Palace letters".

Firstly they point out the secrecy. And one historian's
quest for the letters to be made public. We're told that
the fact that it took a High Court decision for the letters
to be released, after a Federal Court had refused the
request.

Secondly, all this added to the suspicion around what the
Palace knew. The letters now answer the most pressing question
about the Monarch's involvement. We now know that her
representative made the decision.

The BBC tells us that although there is no bombshell
revelation it is nevertheless a remarkable insight into an
almost daily and detailed correspondence between the
Queen's representative - the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr,
the Queen, and her secretary, during a time of very high tension
in Australian politics.

According to the BBC this was not just between Whitlam and
Fraser but also between Prime MInister Whitlam and the
Governor-General - Sir John Kerr himself.

This is a glimpse into a tug of war of power. Which it indeed
was. The letters remind us that as the Queen's representative,
Sir John Kerr was considering his position and powers to
dissolve parliament and dismiss the Prime Minister - Gough
Whitlam while the Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was
considering going to the Queen to call for the Governor-
General's, Sir John Kerr - removal.

When Gough Whitlam was sacked there was a great deal of anger
at what many people saw as the Palace representative Sir
John Kerr flexing his questionable powers over Australian
politics. Others saw it as his protecting his own position.

There were calls for the country to be a republic at the
time.

It is unclear whether the newly released documents will
revive those sentiments.

Hasbeen,
Why do you regard the conspiracy theory as Labor's?

runner, you're describing your own actions pretty well. Do you have a PhD in lies?

I for one am glad the GG got rid of the Goaf after many of us lost employment due to his & his Ministers incompetence !
The 1.2 million/day to PNG he committed Australia to since 1975 could have created a lot more productive jobs here than they ever could in PNG ! And, to think that there are people who have the gall to call themselves Australian still speak of him as some kind of a hero is simply mindboggling !
