UK's role in Whitlam's sacking
Jun 25th, 2020 at 1:39am
 
An important reckoning with a great historical injustice is underway in Australia which presents the world with a rare opportunity to look into the darker corners of the corridors of power too often ignored by even the most ardent truth seekers among us.

This reckoning has taken the form of a four-year, hard fought legal battle which a lone crowd funded Australian historian named Jenny Hocking waged in the highest courts of her nation to win the right on May 30, 2020 to make 211 secret letters held within Australia’s National Archives public for the first time since they were deposited in 1978.

These palace letters were written between the Queen of England (via her personal secretary) and her Governor General in Australia Sir John Kerr during the latter’s tenure as official Head of State during the interim of 1974-1978 and until last week’s court ruling, were intended to be kept hidden until December 8, 2037.

What makes these letters such a point of national controversy is that they contain information which will undoubtedly shed light upon the active role of the Queen herself in carrying out an act which essentially amounted to a modern coup d’état of November 11, 1975. During this sad period, Kerr made history by not only sacking the elected Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, but also revealed the scope and nature of the British Monarchy’s very real powers in our modern age.

These are bizarre god-like prerogative powers which those forces controlling today’s globally extended empire would much rather keep concealed from public view.

UK had no 'role' in Whitlam's sacking, Australia on the other hand requested it before he bankrupted the country.

Have you seen what the current organised crime syndicate (coalition government) has done to Australia?

One of those moments in history - November 11th 1975 - where just about everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news.

I was in Perth City walking near the former Musgroves (music store) in Murray Street opposite Forrest Place when I saw a 'flyer' for the afternoon's (now defunct) Daily News newspaper outside a nearby newsagent and the 'flyer' announced in huge black letters: WHITLAM SACKED

I remember like it were only yesterday. I was 18 years old at the time. Smiley

I remember protesting on the steps of Old Parliament House that evening.

I remember that too.

And turning to the back of the Daily News and looking for the mouse in Langoulant's cartoon.

Musgroves was in Hay St back then, though.

It was where JB HiFi is now - the narrow one, down the escalators.

Thanks, Greg.

I must have been a bit 'hazy' with my recollection of Musgroves at the time. I'm sure it was there at some point although it may have been one of the others like Vox Adeon (which eventually became Archie Martin Vox).

I am so looking forward to reading that correspondence.  Kerr's cur, indeed.

Actually, I think that 'downstairs' JB HiFi has gone now. Didn't particularly like going down there, All I could think of was 'earthquake' or 'fire' and how the heck would people get out quickly in the event of either one.

I could never understand why JB had 3 stores in such close proximity to each other - the 'downstairs' one in the Hay St. Mall, the one in Enex100 and the third one in Piccadilly Arcade.

Yep, they moved around a bit.

You might be right though.

They started in Murray St, at number 223 (where Zara is now).

They might not have moved to Hay St until 1977.

And then, they moved back to Murray St a few decades later, near Shafto Lane.

But yeah, back in 1975 they probably were opposite Forrest Place.

The downstairs one is gone?

I didn't know that - I'm going to Enex now, so I'll check it out.

And yeah, three stores so close was always a bit crazy.

Oh, yeah.

That's right - they closed the downstairs one and opened a mega store in Murray St (upstairs, above Woolworths).

It's coming back to me now.

There was a fire in the Musgroves building in the '70s, and they moved to Hay St after that.
