Today marks the 50th anniversary of The Dismissal, where the Governor General (the Queen’s representative in Australia), Sir John Kerr, exercised the little known Reserve Powers to sack the democratically elected government of Gough Whitlam.
Whitlam’s Government is now more broadly remembered by the general population for its long list of reforms over the three years they were in government more than the manner of its ending. Those reforms rocketed Australia from a particularly sleepy and inward looking nation in the 1950s and 1960s toward a more outward looking and progressive nation in the 1970s.
I have tooted and retooted numerous articles about The Dismissal in the last week, so I will not be discussing all the details again.
Instead, I will keep it really simple.
What will people be thinking of the Albanese Government in 50 years from now? A government with an absolutely stonking majority, an almost certain third term and no effective opposition other than a rag tag bunch of independents.
I posit that the Albanese Government will likely be remembered as a government that pissed a great opportunity up against the wall, a government that was too scared of its own reflection to make any meaningful change. A government that purported to be progressive and reformist while doing none of those things. A government with tremendous opportunity to make meaningful and lasting change that addressed systemic problems which are holding Australia back. And a government that squibbed its responsibility to the future.
I won’t be around in 50 years … so I won’t be able to reflect back on the Albanese Government. But I ask you to think about this:
What would Whitlam have achieved with a majority half the size of the majority held by the Albanese Government and with a near certainty of a third term from the outset of their second term?

With the 50th anniversary of The Dismissal tomorrow, the article below is an interesting read that goes through a list of who would benefit from the removal of a democratically elected Whitlam Government while noting some of Whitlam’s personal strengths and short comings.
Worth a read.
——-
Quote:In the case of the US, it took Whitlam no time at all to enrage both US President Richard Nixon and his National Security Adviser, Henry Kissinger with a letter criticising the bombing of North Vietnam at Christmas in 1972. While other nations’ leaders were equally critical, it was Whitlam’s style that aroused in the recipients a uniquely high level of fury. As Kissinger made clear, it was Whitlam’s air of moral superiority and placing the US “on the same level as our enemy” that caused the outrage. Kissinger reported that Nixon was also particularly exercised by “Australia treating the US on a par with other foreign countries”.

Below is a link to part two of John Menadue’s reflections on The Dismissal of the Whitlam Government on 11 November 1975 and worth a read.
——-
Quote:One reason why the loans affair became such a political issue was that senior officers in Treasury leaked continually to the Opposition and the media about the loan raising. Treasury had chummy relations with companies like Morgan Stanley and didn’t want to upset such relationships. They also believed, genuinely, that the loan raising was bad policy. They were right on that, but by then Whitlam had stopped listening to them.

The attached article is written by John Menadue, who was the head of The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet at the time of The Dismissal of the Whitlam Government on 11Novemer 1975, 50 years ago next week.
It makes a very interesting read from an insider’s perspective of what went on leading up to and on the day of The Dismissal and is worth a read.
