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.CONTRIBUTORSBob Carr - ForewordDavid Clune - Gough Whitlam and his Government: An OverviewMalcolm Mackerras - Whitlam and Australian VotersGreg Melleuish - The Whitlam NarrativeAndrew Podger and David Stanton - The Whitlam Government’s Social Welfare LegacyStephen Duckett - Your Medicare Card: Whitlam’s Legacy in Everyone’s PocketMartha Kinsman and Linda Hort - Whitlam and EducationSev Ozdowski - Multiculturalism and Immigration PolicyJohn Martin - Legacy and Lessons from the DURD ProjectWill Sanders - Aboriginal Affairs: Launching National Decolonisation from a Territory BaseGene Tunny - Whitlam and the EconomyGary Banks - A 'Rattigan' Man: Whitlam’s Assault on ProtectionGeoff Cockfield - Rural PolicyDavid Lee - Minerals and Resources PolicyMichael Easson - Promise and Influence of Whitlam’s Foreign PolicyPaddy Gourley - The Whitlam Government and the Public ServiceJonathan Pincus - Federal-State RelationsMichael Sexton - Confronting the Constitution: Law and Politics in the Whitlam EraScott Prasser - Royal Commissions and Public Inquiries: Roles and ImpactsMary Easson - 1987: The Year Whitlam and Hawke BrokeFrank Bongiorno - The Whitlam Legacy for the Fraser and Hawke Governments
