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.

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

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

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).

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.

Carl D wrote on Jun 25^th, 2020 at 10:18am:


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.

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.

Ah, yep - where Dick Smith Electronics used to be. Actually, a few years back someone working at Woolworths there told me that Woollies were thinking about moving into that upstairs area after Dick Smith, Red Dot, Millers, etc. had closed and the whole upstairs area was being renovated but they must have changed their mind.

Can't imagine why they would want to do that anyway... surely they would get more shoppers when they're on the ground floor and people just walk in from the Murray St. Mall.

I always thought that upstairs area would have been a good place for a CBD Aldi store.

The Socialists discouraged by Albo revere the evil extremist FABIAN Socialist Gough as a Labor HERO because he caused so much damage to Australia just like Gillard and Krudd did.

King Malcolm I rules OK.

Do you get sick of just making stuff up ?

We had the same thing happen in a recent election where apparently we had a problem with a budget emergency  proclaimed to panic status by the Abbott opposition.

In this case it was so bad that after taking office the Liberals done absolutely nothing about it, they even rejected the option to start Budget repair in a mini budget, instead of taking action in February to start collecting the income to pay for their outrageous unfunded spending they chose to allow the economy continue with Labors settings for an additional 10 months. They followed for the rest of the term by making the budget deficit worse.

Now you see back in 1975 the issue at hand was that the Whitlam governments budget was so bad that it had to be blocked for the dire fear it would send Australia broke.

The fact is that the first action of the hypercritical Incoming coalition government in 1975 (Fraser) was to pass the Labor budget in full.


Well may you parrot Liberal garbage and lies as that is clearly what you have done here.

I have to ask is consistency a good thing when it is consistent dishonesty ?

Abbott promised Single Mothers 100 times more than anyone, While he delivered zero some say that it is the thought that counts. Abbott is on record as having by far the most generous single mother election promise ever.

Sad thing is that some of them believed him.

The Whitlam government produced Budget surpluses in every year in office, was the last federal government that left office with more cash than debt and had a lower tax to GDP ratio than the Howard government.

So much for rightists' lies.

Cough Whitless certainly achieved lots in his disgraceful 3 years - he nearly bankrupted Australia - that's why the GG had to boot him out.

The Khemali affair ?
