This critical Australian history has been twisted, concealed and lied about from the moment it occurred. If interested you will find the bare bones here;

This doesn't cover that which has been confirmed by the release of the Palace papers and what can be inferred by that which was not released.
The supposed reason was The Khemlani Affair, government borrowing when supply was refused, but IMHO supply was refused because Whitlam was perceived as a threat by conservatives in England and the US.
Whitlam's legislative achievements include but are by no means limited to introduction of universal healthcare, the abolition of conscription, the establishment of formal relations with China, and the repeal of discriminatory provisions in the White Australia policy. Additionally, they abolished tertiary education fees and withdrew Australian forces from the Vietnam War.
Compare this to the legislative quagmire today.
I won't go on except to say that I was released from gaol as a conscientious objector by a direct order from PM Whitlam and that I have 2 post graduate higher degrees that were free. I was paid to do my second degree.
Thanks Gough.
