I am Australias first Prime Minister with that particular background, Gough Whitlam once proudly claimed. That particular background was that he had grown up in Canberra, that his childhood friends were the children of politicians and public servants, and that he had grown up in an atmosphere of politics and public administration.
And that was his big problem, his detractors often said. Because of that particular background, he never quite realised, or chose to ignore, that Canberra was not the centre of the world, that Australia was a federation, that it consisted of states. Whether he liked it or not, those states had traditional differences they jealously guarded, they sent senators to Canberra, and the Constitution gave those senators certain powers.
Against that, we have to consider that as prime minister he confronted a LiberalCountry Party Coalition whose members found it beyond their comprehension that they had lost the 1972 and 1974 elections, and that the electors had wearied of them. They were the natural parties of government, and they had to save the electors from their own erroneous ways, because democracy had to be protected from itself.
It all seemed like the old schoolboy joke. What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object. Theres an indescribable explosion. And there was: the Dismissal, on 11 November 1975, an event of such moment that it is still most often spelt with an upper case D.
Whitlam was right about growing up in a politically involved household. His father, Fred, was one of Australias most significant public servants, Deputy Crown Solicitor and later Crown Solicitor. But saying that he grew up in Canberra was a bit of a stretch.
