GOUGH WHITLAM .....R.I.P. TUESDAY 21ST OCTOBER 2014.

Gough Whitlam Australia`s 21st Prime Minister died this morning in Sydney.
He was a visionary , who tapped into the social consciousness of Australia.
Gough Whitlam contributed to public welfare more than any other political leader.
I was able to attend a tertiary institution thanks to free tertiary education that was offered to all Australians .
He put an end to conscription.
He appointed a woman to oversee  health issues affecting women's health.
He recognised women`s rights.
He introduced Medicare a true  universal health system .
He wiped out the White Australian policy .
He initiated land rights for the true owners of Australia.
Wherever you are reading this blog , don`t dismiss the importance of the passing of this man , he knew the true meaning of reconciliation ...... down load the song by Paul Kelly ... " From little things big things grow. "
Thank you Gough Whitlam .
R.I.P.
