1975: The Ballads of the Whitlam Dismissal

AUD $37.00 Incl. postage in Australia

Precis

1975: Ballads of the Whitlam Dismissal uses rollicking bush ballads to explore the sacking of Gough Whitlam in 1975.

Whitlam and the Labour Party was remaking Australia with then revolutionary concepts such as free health, no fault divorce and a plethora of other ideas that are now mundane.

At every step he was opposed by the press barons and the conservsatives who had just enjoyed 23 years of untrammelled power under Menzies.

This is an epic story of King Lear meets Game of Thrones
