| Summary |
The Whitlam Government came to office on 2 December 1972 amid high expectations. For many, it marked a turning point in the nation's development. Although it was out of office within three years, its impacts have been more lasting. Especially prepared to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Whitlam Government's election, this volume, based on new sources of information and with the benefit of hindsight, reappraises its achievements, failures, and long-term impacts on Australian government, politics and policy. Contributors include leading academics, former senior public servants and Labor stalwarts. It brings fresh insights into this most talked about, but often misrepresented, government |
