Just watching something on ACA, yeah I know I must be almost brain dead.
In the story they mention that Labor "great" and former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was doing a book launch.
If it is a book by him or about him, I hope they haven't printed more than 100 copies.
Fair dinkum, I can't understand why he is lorded over as the great Labor Messiah.
As I remember it, he won government in a landslide victory in 1972 and 3 years later he was kicked out in a bigger landslide.
In the years between we had record inflation, record unemployment and the country was just about broke. So broke that the government looked at borrowing $6 billion from an Arab nation.
I guess that after 30+ years people tend to forget the little things.
