Hi everyone, haven't caught up with what is happening on the forum but hope everyone is enjoying life and health and are very outspoken.

As you know, I have considerable respect and admiration for Gough Whitlam - mainly because he was a silver spooner who did more for Australia and the average Australian, than any other PM.  

Besides giving us such wonderful things as a free health care system (yes, it was free at one stage) and equal free access to tertiary education, Whitlam wanted to buy back Australia from mega foreign corporations (mostly USA corporations).  To do this he needed money and could not go to the USA for this money so went directly to the Arabs. This folks was the terrible scandal that was splatted in our newspapers... although no one could possibly understand what was going on from these disjointed and disgusting newspaper spewings.

Now, because our PM (Mr. Gough Whitlam) was doing too much for the AVERAGE Australian and raising their standard of living to a level that the USA did not consider appropriate and then had the audacity to try and put our country in control of foreign mega corporations by buying 49% shares in them, Mr Gough Whitlam simply had to go.

Anyway, the USA National Archives released documents (published by Wikileaks), that proved that the USA and Murdoch, interfered in Australian democratic processes.
