YEAR BOOK 1975 - WHAT ELSE HAPPENED?

What happened in Australia back in 1975? Most people aren't likely to remember. As people get a little bit older, they become more reflective on their lives, and they place more value on their partners, families and friends. At this time, nostalgia edges into their lives, and they start to look back at their teens and childhood, and dwell a little on their early years and inevitably on their parents. But then they get back to 1975 when it all began for them, they can't remember a thing Whitlam had led the Parliament for 2 years. His shine was starting to tarnish, and he was no longer seen as God, but as god. Meantime, the economy was nearly ruined, half a million people were on the dole, and interest rates on home loans were 17 percent. His ministers kept on making big changes, and some of them were sensible. Towards the end of the year, he had a long-running fight with Malcolm Fraser, and the Governor General. He lost both of these and was pensioned off as Prime Minister..
