Oh dear—been working off an incomplete inventory of trees.

I have 11 rows of 6 apple trees, not 10, plus one single Improved Foxwhelp bittersharp cider apple. Hmmm.

I better go through all my email addresses and collate all the tree orders—useful to have this because Biosecurity Tas. could call I suppose—then compile a complete tree inventory and planting plan.

As far as I am concerned, Whitlam only features in the "May God save the Queen, because nothing will save the prime minister" and those Leggos television commercials. Other than that, I have not heard shhtuff from him. I did not even remember his death notice.

That's a shame.

He spoke fondly of you.

If only there was a shred of truth to give credence to your attempt at a joke.

I was young...once. My family was very much a political family. My father was a long standing member of the ALP, he was once offered a seat for the DLP but turned it down, not being a conservative Catholic, he even met with Cardinal Mannix. He knew most of the senior members of the ALP in South Australia, including Don Dunstan. I remember going to Don's restaurant for my mother's sixtieth birthday and him greeting Don as an old comrade. My sister was given for her 21st a copy of Don's cookbook and she has prized it ever since.

Gough was a complete breath of fresh air politically. He saw out the tired old Tory government of Billy McMahon, He ended conscription, he introduced Medibank, he brought in "no fault divorce", he introduced Indigenous Land Rights and Legal Aide, he introduced free University education, amongst other things. He ended 23 years of Tory Rule. Cool

Yet Frazer whipped his arse in the election. Undecided

No not really - News LTD whipped his arse in that election.

Whitlam had 3 elections in 3 years. News Ltd destabilized his government from day one. Much like it was with Julia Gillard.

Gough Whitlam was Australia's version of Donald Trump.
Known for being an alleged paedophile, rapist, Dictator and insurrectionist. Little wonder that News Limited/CIA had him removed.
"God saved the Governor-General. Nothing saved the Gough cough."

No he was the exact opposite of Trump.
