1·14 days agoYeah nah, I mean kerr might have fired the gun but Whitlam and labor certainly loaded it for him.
Whitlam was in such a rush to push through legislation he didn’t focus on what it would mean to lose the Senate. He never thought that the libs would break with tradition and not replace the outgoing senators from the same party. (Law has since been changed)
I think it fell into the US lap rather than any black ops, I don’t think the palace gave a shit.

“Well they kept ringin the bell!”
1·21 days agoYep and selfhosting it is a great option as well
No one made labor/Whitlam appoint senators to overseas posts or to the high court. If they hadn’t made some of these crazy the decisions they wouldn’t have been a dismissal
Hell, Whitlam appointed Kerr albeit it was his last choice.
The whole thing was a massive own goal for Labor. I’m sure there was some shenanigans between Kerr and Fraser, but I think it was opportunistic rather than the Palace or CIA.
