lmao did the palace really issue a statement pretending that what the Queens private secretary writes to the Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia has nothing to do with QEII ffs please make it stop.

handy illustration of media bias happening right now. Archive dude who fought release said thing, Sir Kerr had feelings, a palace statement very important lol okay about what, exactly?

Gough Whitlam is the greatest ever Australian prime minister and tory hate knows no bounds.

to reiterate #PalaceLetters central elements. The core issues. What drove events:
Gough Whitlam is the greatest ever Australian prime minister. An intellectual giant who passed the first Land Rights Act and no-fault divorce.
Also tory hate knows no bounds.

guess whose thoughts lead the 9:00pm ABC radio news bulletin is it what the Labor Party leader said about a Labor Party prime minister? Or some dud who joined the party that mounted a constitutional coup and personifies the tory attribute of sore winner? Not a trick question.

the “different times” line is pro-Liberal Party framing.

bothsidesing lawfully elected ALP prime minister Gough Whitlam and....

Yarralumla, ie the Governor General and the palace, ie the Crown plus the Liberal Party leader, ie Malcolm Fraser.

Classic press gallery #balance there.

looks like Sir Kerr was an overemotional clown case unfit for high office but hmm yes everyone carefully covered for a flakey and irrational white male all very proper lol.
