It’s nearly 50 years since the dismissal of the Whitlam government - a story that shaped the journalism, and the life, of our own editor-at-large Paul Kelly, who back then was a 28-year-old political correspondent literally sprinting through Parliament to break the news. I interviewed Paul for a documentary we’re publishing today - and in this episode of The Front, he tells us his story of Australian politics’ most dramatic day.
You can see the full documentary, plus see photos, videos and additional reporting, on The Australian’s website or YouTube channel.
This episode of The Front is presented by Claire Harvey, produced by Kristen Amiet and edited by Tiffany Dimmack. Our team includes Lia Tsamoglou, Joshua Burton, Stephanie Coombes and Jasper Leak, who also composed our music.
