Yeah today during the History exam, the same person took my packet of chips and my bottle of coke :O
and they were
nice chips
And I made a poem about whitlam to help me study-
Whitlam was probably the best PM,
He tried to make it equal for women and men.
He also helped the Aborigines too,
Many a things Whitlam did do.
He brought many immigrants in,
And put White Australia in the bin.
He brought the Vietnam troops back,
And stopped the anti-communist attack.
He brought in Medicare and made uni fees free,
Many people supported Whitlam, including me.
But then along came Sir John Kerr,
And Gough Whitlam he did deter.
Kerr destroyed Whitlam's foundation, and ruined his grand proclamation.
This was a massive blow to Labor,
But many Australians were in his favour,
There was many a protest and people made signs,
But no longer existed the slogan "It's time".
Kerr thought Whitlam was an inappropriate PM,
And made too many changes to our country back then.
While not all change is necessary progress,
What Whitlam put our country through was a very good process.
Whitlam did make many mistakes,
He borrowed money from the Arab states,
He also bought the Blue Poles painting,
For a million of what tax payers were paying,
Some people didn't think he cared,
And some people started to get scared,
Could Gough Whitlam run the country well?
Kerr didn't think so, as he did tell.
On November 11th, 1975,
He was dismissed, to the public's surprise.
And thus began Gough Whitlam's demise.
A Double Dissolution was then held,
And the Whitlam Labor Government promptly fell.
Gough Whitlam was then replaced,
By a horrible little man, with a mean face.
Malcolm Fraser was his name,
And being conservative was his game.
Now Whitlam is no longer PM,
and the Liberal dogs are back again.
For all his trouble, all we do see,
Is a pasta commercial on network TV.
My history teacher went and took it and i couldn't study off it
She says it's
biased
Well I don't think so
