Why couldn't it have been put to the Australian people to decide in an election?

You don't acknowledge the involvement of the CIA in orchestrating this coup because Whitlam threatened sole control by the USA of Pine Gap?

Victor Marchetti, the CIA officer who had helped set up Pine Gap, later told me:"This threat to close Pine Gap caused apoplexy in the White House. ... a kind of Chile [coup] was set in motion."Pine Gap's top-secret messages were de-coded by a CIA contractor, TRW.One of the de-coders was Christopher Boyce, a young man troubled by the "deception and betrayal of an ally".Boyce revealed that the CIA had infiltrated the Australian political and trade union elite and referred to the Governor-General of Australia, Sir John Kerr, as"… our man Kerr”.

As someone who was on the steps of the old Parliament House 5 metres from Whitlam as he made that famous speech I have researched this whole sad story in depth.

Please do some research before defending this treasonous act by Australians and gross interference in our politics by the USA.

It went to an election.

Gough had his ass handed to him by the electorate, and at the election after that.

On that basis it's impossible to argue that the electorate agreed with Kerr's decision
