Description

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1975 dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, the most dramatic constitutional crisis in Australia’s history. On 11 November 1975, Governor-General Sir John Kerr dismissed Whitlam and appointed Malcolm Fraser as caretaker Prime Minister, triggering a national election and reshaping Australian politics.

Join us as we revisit this pivotal moment in our democracy and reflect on its enduring legacy (and discuss if it could happen again).
