Gough Whitlam dragged the labour movement, government & Australia as a whole out of its xenophobic, navel gazing colonial malaise.
Gough's vision & his government's reforms linked us to Asia's future, invested in our education, ended our involvement in the Vietnam War, massively improved urban & environmental planning & asserted the needs of Aborigines.
Australia today roughly approximates the vision he had for it, undersoring just how big a difference visionary leaders make.
At 96 Australia owes Gough the recognition that even Malcolm Fraser agrees you so thoroughly deserve.
