Iron Mike a simple answer to the question you asked in your opening thread post:
"Here is a Whitlamesque situation - of misgovernment and mismanagement. Why then can't we get them thrown out - now?"
Answer:
Because we no longer have a Governor General with the courage and balls of a John Kerr who had the country's economic future foremost in his mind when he dismissed Whitlam.
Now a question for you Mike: What was the amount Whitlam's gov't borrowed from overseas via the Pakistani national bagman Khemlani?
I have forgotten but I'm nearly certain it wasn't even close to the approaching $300billion that this latest Labor gov't has us Aussies in debt for.
