LMAO Sculzyoner.

I learned about Whitlam last year, basically he introduced many helpful reforms but introduced too much change in such a short period that with this, along with other scandals, became unpopular.

Key issues: Relations with Asia,ending the vietnam war, the removal of the White australia policy and to a lesser extent aboriginal rights.
Dismissal: Supply bills were blocked by the Opposition, had no money to govern, basically Malcolm Fraser wanted to oust him
John Kerr: used 'reserve powers' which had never been used before and it was debatable that they even existed to dismiss the government

There's more, but we studied this in Term 1 so I've forgotten most of it. Don't you have an Aus history textbook?
