Mr. Gough Whitlam will be remembered as one of the most forward thinking prime ministers Australia has had.
Universal health care, free university education, extended diplomatic recognition to China, no fault divorce/family law reform, made our High Court the highest court in the land (prior to that, there was appeal to the Appeal Court in the UK), brought in our own national anthem, just to name a few.
Surprised you are unaware of these forward thinking achievements. May be you were too young then ?
