Born in 1974? What Else Happened?

Description

These were striking times. Whitlam and his Merry Ministers tried to change the world, and did make impressions. Or maybe, dents. In any case, inflation and strikes took the wind out of their sails, and their post-election aura was long gone by Christmas. They won an election but did not gain control of Parliament, they were fighting each other as well as the Opposition by then, and the nation’s economy was a disaster. Jim Cairns was under the spotlight, and so too was Lionel Murphy. Frank Sinatra came and fought and went. Wills were sometimes ignored, mothers went to work if they chose. Italians should come clean.
