The Truth Of The Matter by Gough Whitlam
An insider’s account of the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis, tracing the path to the Senate’s blocking of supply, the unprecedented dismissal of an elected government by the Governor-General, and the ensuing election. It defends the policies and conduct of the administration, challenges the legality and propriety of the reserve powers exercised, critiques the roles of the opposition and legal advisers, and argues for constitutional and procedural reforms to safeguard parliamentary democracy and responsible government.
