What we now think of as "normal" eg Medicare, Sex Discrimination laws, Racial Equality laws, Land Rights, the ending of conscription, childcare as part of employment, no fault divorce etc, etc, are the result of the Whitam government.

Of course, I can't claim that gap on my private health insurance. The cheapest gap for a gp in my rural area is $40. No claim there. Of course, there's the $42 for every script. No health care card there. No health insurance claim there. I stood in a queue with an ex-"friend" yesterday, we chatted. We broke up over the s-trans-gest issue. During her working life, she spent 20 years in Paris, so she gets a health care card and had a disability pension (for 10 years, until she decided to stop taking the prescribed meds she was addict to, with the help of her 80 year old parents, who paid for her private clinic out of their meagre savings). Now, it's just the old age pension. Meanwhile, I slogged it out for 30 years (medically retired), in a Western Sydney classroom with a week's getaway holiday a year. Got no family allowance (just above $ cut-off, got no child care $$$ (just above cut-off). Got no health care or pension card - just above cut-off, lol. My super payments were compulsory. No choices.

My few cents worth about the voting age. In most Anglosphere jurisdictions up to start of 1970's, the voting age was 21. As well, most kids left school in their mid teens, after doing basic secondary education, to begin work. Senior secondary school of course, was mainly seen as preparatory to university, or similar. This of course, meant there was considerable window of opportunity for their still-developing grey matter to have exposure to adult society, before they cast their first vote in the ballot box. Then the voting age was dropped to 18. About that time though, there was an increasing proportion of kids staying longer at school, including those doing senior school on a 'terminating' basis. The causes of this may be legion. These last, in other circumstances would likely have left school in their mid teens. A perfect storm?

I was young at the time when Gough was dismissed and as we grow older our views change overtime as we do. Their are mistakes in which a governments makes and sometimes ,they are too irratical for there own good and should be called out at the time. Hindsight , it will always give us 20x20 vision as we look back at the seeds that were planted, and in time they take a life of there own like an uncontrollable weed. No one talks about what and who was involved behind the seen leading up too and the dismissing of an Australian head of state, whether it is a liberal or Labor governments it matters not. A few times since it had been made known what foreign powers and intelligence services were involved, but while people were focused on the front facade of Kerr and local politics, their were other reasons in the back ground for the why and maybe some should look into it . Gough did no favors for himself when he came to power, but this was a time when Australia had been planning to go nuclear for many years leading up too the Whitlam government... I feel this is not as clear cut as being presented, it is true though of Gough and local politics , but this only part of the story, in my view . We conducted many nuclear and missiles tests with the UK, and in 1973, it was only then Australia ratified the NPT, we also had a little unknown place in the middle of the out back and no one was letting that out of there hands once they had got it , no matter what. Over the years I feel this was an unsettling time for Australia , it had been said in the past, Australia was leaking like a sieve , information was flying out the door as soon as they received it . Their had already been a Soviet spy ring in Australia for sometime, also their was the Petrov Affair , the Australian communist party, their were many facets taking place here and including the US had a few things to say. A coin has two sides....this is not to say the labor party with its policies were not innocent , far from it , but their were other important factors taking place over the years leading up to this period in time. some reading ( SURPRISE DOWN UNDER: THE SECRET HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAíS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS ) www.nonproliferation.org/wp-content/uploads/npr/walsh51.pdf CIA ROLE IN AUSTRALIA HIT www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp09t00993r000100100014-7 Australia 1973-1975 Another free election bites the dust ( page 244) ia803008.us.archive.org/32/items/KillingHope/Killing%20Hope.pdf I am sure others are able to look up independently .

Equality is not wokeness

Whitlam was no more than a reflection of the time. The whole world was transitioning from an ultra conservative very narrow minded 1950/60's to the Hippy generation of the 1970's. Whitlam and Woodstock etc. are just reflections of the period. That change was necessary and the world is (perhaps was is the right word) a FAR better place for it happening. P.S. Wokeness, cancel culture etc are actually the complete opposite of the liberation of ideas of the 1970's "do what you wanta do, be what you wanta be, yea". It is actually a return to a pre Whitlam era of narrow minded thinking, and uniformity in society.

Woke has existed since the 1960's. It really all started with the rotten hippies, and then as time went on, it just got more and more crazy. That's why I really don't understand why the Millennials hate the boomers so much. The boomers were the first generation to go down the path of liberal stupidity. The generations that followed the boomers just took the stupidity further and further. For some reason, Millennials think the boomers were always super conservative. I wish that were the case. But the boomers were the hippy generation that started all this liberal, left wing crap in the first place.

I am the first member of my family to graduate University and without the introduction of free tertiary education, that would not have been possible.Yes, tax payers covered the cost, as they did for my primary and secondary education.In return, they benefit from the skills I have learnt.Blue collar workers need doctors, lawyers, dentists and veterinarians too, and are obviously willing to pay for what is advantageous to them.

The main thing I remember of Gough Whitlam was the Klemlani loans affair (where they tried to nationalise huge sections of the economy - read socialist/communist state) and he threatened the Governor General after being told the people would have to vote to resolve political stalemate (wouldn't that be terrible). Was it just a bad nightmare? We really went through that! (lucky we made it out alive).

I don't think people have a clue what they are saying when they use the word woke.They just think they are being offensive.A little like the bizarre use of "do gooder" as a form of abuse.

People won't go to a university whether it's free or not if they don't want to be at school. Schools before universities were compulsory so they are stuck there unlike a university. Personally at this point I was poor and doing well and I couldn't get a scholarship because I was the wrong race so free university would have been great. At least if uni is free you'll get those who want to be there and not just anyone because the reality is not everyone wants to be "stuck at school" forever unless there is some benefit. If anything universities will have to try harder to deliver beneficial outcomes otherwise it's a waste of the former students time. Also it doesn't create disconnection, realistically businesses should train their own workers and pay them to do so, so it actually assisted businesses because they didnt have to train their own people and the students didnt get paid a thing and also weren't indebted to "learn skills" that benefited people who run businesses, it seemed mutually beneficial and beneficial to tax payers if the cycle was ongoing.

'...Make things free, and you deprive them of their true worth.' Like healthcare, for instance. Discourse in Australia is better served by the absence of your contributions.
