This from Oct '75. Still have that issue. Gordon Barton's collection of extra-sharp scribes from the 70s made it a must-read.

Remembering the day school children around Australia broke the news of the sacking of the Whitlam government by the Governor-General...

The announcement of the sacking by the Governor-General's secretary on the steps of old Parliament House was broadcast to all the children watching kids programmes after school. With no social media and most parents working, the children heard about the dismissal of the government first and told their parents when they got home. I remember running out to my parents with my younger brother shouting the news to them. Coincidentally, our car had broken down so my mother arrived in a tow truck pulling the car.

I was in primary school and old enough to understand how big this news was. At school for years afterwards my friends and I recalled this momentous occasion and how we told our parents.

I started reading newspapers from a young age and remember reading Michelle Grattan's articles in The Age. Here are her recollections of The dismissal:

After Gough Whitlam was sacked, a crowd formed. They could have stormed the building. Fifty years on, this photo tells the story of The Dismissal.

“My proposition was that #Gough should ask (HM) the #Queen to accept his advice to appoint a new #GovernorGeneral,” he said. “In the event that #Kerr resisted, I said to Gough he should be put under police arrest.”

“That is certainly what I would have done if I was #PrimeMinister.”
Keating, in his first filmed interview on the dismissal for the Museum of #AustralianDemocracy at Old Parliament House in #Canberra, said there was a risk that Kerr could win support from the (ADF) Army to protect him from arrest as he was the nation’s commander-in-chief. This was an issue that #Whitlam had to consider. In other words, you’d have to have the #soldiers with you for this to happen,” — Paul Keating, PM, ‘91 - 96.
