Let's revisit The Dismissal ... why not? It's only been 40+ years and most of the players are long gone. Must be a slow day for the ALP, huh?

Queen linked to ‘scandalous’ intervention in Aussie politics, says researcher

BRITAIN sent an envoy to Australia to meet the Governor-General at one of the most critical moments in politics, it has emerged in “volcanic” material around the 1975 dismissal.

An envoy from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office flew out to Canberra to meet the Governor-General just a month before the sensational dismissal of Gough Whitlam government, Monash University researcher Jenny Hocking found.

The historian told news.com.au the revelation was “extraordinarily significant”, showing the head of state meddling in Australian politics, and leading to the “scandalous outcome” of a democratically elected government losing power.

Professor Hocking uncovered records of the Australian visit by Foreign and Commonwealth Office undersecretary Sir Michael Palliser, and later conversations relating to the Queen’s position.

The findings from these documents held in the British archives are included in the latest edition of her book, The Dismissal Dossier — but some remain redacted.

Whitlam should have been killed before 1950 , all would still be well. Change is inevitable but it must be controlled and responsible
