Structure

I think this would flow better if we did it chronologically, rather than on individual issues.

I was thinking perhaps:

Postwar Australia
The Sixties and Vietnam
The Whitlam era
Hawke, Keating and economic reform
and then something for the last decade

Any thoughts? Rebecca 05:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. --Robert Merkel 07:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From history after 1901

These references were given on the History of Australia since 1901, it's unclear if they were actually used to write the article, however they may be useful to expand this and the after 1945 article.--Peta 02:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV concerning Kerr´s Cur

In view of what is known about US intervention in Aust. politics against the ALP government at this time (key words: ASIO, Shackley Telegram, Marshall Green, etc.) based on facts which have become known 1972-2006 the following quote in chevrons is massive,biassed, and conservative ie Capital-friendly distortion: <<Whitlam's radical and imperious style eventually alienated many voters, and — after a series of ministerial scandals in 1975 — the Senate for the first time used its constitutional powers to block the government's budget. When Whitlam refused to back down, the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr, dismissed him on 11 November.>>
