Edward Gough Whitlam AC QC (born 11 July 1916), known as Gough Whitlam was the 21st Prime Minister of Australia and was the only Australian Prime Minister to be dismissed by the Governor-General of Australia. He is perhaps the most controversial and interesting Prime Minister in Australian history. In 1972 he led the Labor Party into government after a period of 23 years of conservative government in Australia and in the context of a hostile senate was dismissed in 1975.
Although he spent a relatively short time in office, many of the policies and institutions set up under the Whitlam Government are still evident today, such as Medicare. Both his 'presidential' style of politics and his dismissal in 1975 still arouse intense passion and debate and influenced many to believe in an Australian republic.
