Constitutional Crisis
Tumblr media
1975 - Prime Minister Gough Whitlam has been dismissed by the Governor General of Australia, John Kerr, on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II. Many Australians are outraged that a democratically elected leader has been cast out in this way; a controversy known as the 'Constitutional Crisis of 1975'. Addressing the Australian public, Whitlam (Australia in the comic) makes his iconic speech:
"Well may we say, 'God save the Queen'... Because nothing will save the Governor General."
Legislation would eventually be passed by future Governments restricting the influence of the Head of State over the Executive Government (PM's office).
Whitlam was a progressive leader whose term lasted just under 3 years. Despite this short time, he made many sweeping changes within the country, pulling it away from a narrow focus on Europe (particularly, Great Britain) and expanding it to the rest of the world. He was an avid believer in Australia's sovereignty and unique character, counter to British or US influence (many today believing this to be the motive for his dismissal).
