Never met him personally, but he was one of our best, Sir 'sour-faced' John Kerr should never have dismissed him from office.
Well done Gough, you made our country great,
Now let's stop Tony Abcess and his Tea Party look-a-likes from destroying it.

Conservative Opposition Leader Malcolm Fraser and the GG Sir John Kerr decided that they didn't like Whitlam. So they cooked up a juicy scheme to scare the Australian people into thinking that we were running out of money, and used it as an excuse to dismiss him from office... illegally
GG's reserve powers are supposed to be exercised independently of political pressure and therefore Kerr broke the law by dismissing Whitlam as he had collaborated with Fraser.
Then Fraser became PM and said "Oh my, we actually have a budget surplus, my bad.."
He didn't actually say that, but you get my point, basically it was just a conservative plot to get rid of him.
