The great man turns 90

...Happy Birthday Gough!

A truly towering figure in Australian politics, this man paved the way for the equitable and egalitarian society we have enjoyed - this man have a vision for a fair Australia, where education was a right for all - and your sucess depended on your ability and effort - not on your Daddy's bank account.

Modern conservatism has torn down much of the equalising institutions of Australia, but one day, a Whitlam Mk II will arrive and deliver us.

Happy birthday, sir. And Thank You.
