Oil crisis Oct 1973 to March 1974. Price went from $3 per barrel to $12 per barrel.

So with that occurring, Whitlam still went ahead and massively increased spending...cunning, real cunning.

Normally, if you lose supply you would call an election. But not Whitlam, he instead tried to borrow money off a dodgy Pakistani arms dealer...again cunning, real cunning.

And I repeat what I said earlier. The people of Australia had two chances to reelect Whitlam - in 1975 and 1977 - and they rejected him.

Now that is real cunning!
