	Gough Whitlam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gough Whitlam was born in Kew, a Melbourne suburb.
		Margaret Whitlam is known for having a sardonic wit equal to that of her husband and is a published author as well as a former champion swimmer.
		Whitlam admired Evatt greatly, and was a loyal supporter of his leadership, through a period dominated by the Labor split of 1955, which resulted in the Catholic right wing of the party breaking off to form the Democratic Labor Party (DLP).

	Australian constitutional crisis of 1975 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Whitlam government, which was elected in 1972 after decades of conservative rule, had pioneered several social reforms immediately after gaining office, including the creation of the Medibank universal health care system, the introduction of no-fault divorce legislation, and the abolition of fees for tertiary education.
		Whitlam emphasised the long-established principle of the Westminster system that as long as a government has a majority in the lower house it is entitled to stay in office and serve its full term.
		Fraser and Whitlam have not kept up any enmity and are reconciled to the point where they have, on occasion, spoken jointly on political issues such as the referendum of 1999 as to whether Australia should become a republic.

	Gough Whitlam - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Whitlam admired Evatt greatly, and was a loyal supporter of his leadership right through the 1950s, a period dominated by the very bitter Labor split of 1955, which resulted in the Catholic right wing of the party breaking off to form the Democratic Labor Party (DLP).
		Although the decision to dismiss Whitlam is often attributed to Kerr, it is important to note, as did New Zealand's Governor-General Sir Michael Hardie Boys in 1997 [1], that the "prerogative powers" by which the dismissal was effected ultimately reside with the Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
		Whitlam was delighted when Mark Latham, who was once Whitlam's research assistant and represents his old seat of Werriwa, was elected Labor leader on 2 December 2003, exactly 31 years after Whitlam's own election as Prime Minister.

	Behind Gough Whitlam's outburst: Leaked documents reveal Australian Labor leader's East Timor role
		Whitlam thundered that he would not be "flguarded" by a man like Brereton, describing him as the most "ill-educated" foreign affairs representative in Australian history.
		Whitlam's position was so obvious that the opposition foreign affairs spokesman, Liberal Party figure Andrew Peacock, raised it in parliament in October 1974, accusing the government of "pre-judging the free expression of the Timorese".
		Whitlam and the Labor leaders were aware that the American military and intelligence agencies, including the CIA, had orchestrated General Pinochet's 1973 coup in Chile in order to put down a threatening upsurge of the Chilean working class.

	The Currency Lad: I Could Have Told You Edward
		As has become conventional, Gough puts the blame for this shameful and embarrassing episode on everyone but himself: "The 1974 Treasury records demonstrate that Connors and Cairns were foolish and deceptive.
		Given that Whitlam really didn't like being in Australia, it's no surprise his government should have staggered from one scandal to another between 1972 and 1975.
		Expect Whitlam's apologists to do what they usually do when presented with evidence of their hero's shocking mismanagement of the nation's affairs: snigger admiringly at the elitism and sheer bombast they like to see in a leader.
