"On 16 August 1975 #GoughWhitlam poured a handful of red soil into #VincentLingiari's hand to symbolise the legal transfer. The Gurindji leader commented: 'Now we can all be mates'." Let's all be mates again and #VoteYes for the #VoiceToParliament. โค๏ธ

#Rudd was the leader of the #Labor party #ALP - centre left major party - the same party as #Whitlam - Rudd is more Conservative than #GoughWhitlam - but still miles to the left of the USA #Democrats
The hysterical anti-communists are in the #Liberal party #LNP and right wing minor parties (the USA needs minor parties, see image, but that's another story)
#NancyPelosi and the Clintons would probably be in the Liberal Party here?

@DrLiz .. another reminder that #GoughWhitlam was a much bigger man than the current mob.

I am forever grateful to Medicare and the PBS. This recent prescription of mine is a great example of how Australia's health system helps people get the medicine they need without financially breaking them in the process. I paid $41.50, which will be reducing to a uniform $30 next year. #Medicare #goughwhitlam #drugs #healthcare

Today 11 November is the anniversary of The Dismissal. Here is my little tribute video to #GoughWhitlam
Before the 'It's Time' campaign song... dig the dance!

A glimpse into the only scrapbook I have ever made (November 1975). I lived with my grandparents in Paul Keating's electorate of Blaxland
