The official historical table for Commonwealth debt published by Treasury shows that the Australian government had zero net debt throughout the time Whitlam was in office.

"Whitlam and his government changed the way we think about ourselves. The curse of sleepy mediocrity and colonial dependency, so mercilessly flayed in 1964 by Donald Horne in The Lucky Country, was cast aside. Outdated social attitudes were brutally confronted. The tribal conservatism of the ’50s that had been slowly eroded by prolonged prosperity was unable to withstand this concerted assault. The Australia in which Indigenous people were seen as subhuman, women were second-class citizens, censorship of artistic work was commonplace, nature was solely for exploitation, electoral laws were rigged and community leaders were rewarded with knighthoods was relegated to the history books.

Whitlam has described his government’s transformation of education as its “most enduring single achievement”. As one of the first group of students who benefited from the abolition of university fees and the creation of the Tertiary Education Assistance Scheme, I am tempted to agree. Australia’s education system, long geared to a world of physical labour and limited learning, had not kept pace with changes in the production process and society.

What a load of dribble... and hardly relevant to the actual topic.

You want to actually learn something on topic...  go to Convict Creations sheesh how many times must you be told.

Wassup?
can't google?

as for the Monthly...  home of david marr...  says it all actually re its politics and credibility.
oh and if you wanted to post something politically accurate and without bias...  Lindsay Tanner is not the place to go. Cheesy

Sir John Kerr's course of action was judged constitutional by Sir Garfield Barwick and Sir Anthony Mason.

Such Bwianophobia, tsk, tsk  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Western civilisation must be asserted against Islam at very opportunity. Like a dam, it must be constantly fortified and it must not be allowed to be eroded by the steady and relentless pressure of Islam.

Kerr did not act illegally. That the Crown, the High Court, Parliament and the States would have gone along with an illegal act by the GG is a  ludicrous lie, Bwian, so you ARE an outrageous liar. Too stupid.
