What leader of Austria is this?

>Ausfags, how would our cuntry be different if this guy hadn't been dismissed?

For this to have happened, Whitlam would have had to have dismissed the Governor General first. Or called an election.

Australians have a tendency to kick people when they're down, so he might see an electoral bump.

The central question is: for the broad tendency of the Whitlam political reforms to continue in parliament, a revolutionary movement was needed to prevent a coup / assassination shutting things down.

Whitlam was trying to put the lid on the revolutionary movement as fast as possible. It was this movement that was forcing Whitlam's reforms (see Origlass in Balmain).

I dont think we'd be much different, NZ was a pinko utopia and now they're going alright after having elected conservatives for the last 10 years

ROGERNOMICS MUCH?

Not a conspiracytard, but there was a lot more going on behind the dismissal than is generally publicly acknowledged, Kerr was being a dodgy prick, I'll try and chase up[ some sources.

Everybody knows our American Friends pressured Kerr. This is about the period when our American Friends recruited Bob Hawke.

Oops, totally forgot about the post I made. I just mean that Kerr and Fraser were very chummy and basically engineered the dismissal together.

Yeah, nah, thank Washington.

Uh yeah. My point was were going alright theyre going alright, Whitlad not getting boned wouldnt have changed much

They were going alright, because the EEC closed the UK's ability to free trade with NZ, fucked their economy, and they copied Chile's tactics down to everything but the helicopters.

Sure they were doing okay. Sure they were a pinko utopia as they gutted the unions and welfare. Sure up to 1990 a generation of Kiwis split NZ to get work in Australia, or welfare for that matter.

Sure.

Fucking mong. Go drown yourself.
