[edit] My Bit

Ok. I think of this article off to a good start. Feel free to correct me or change whatever you think could be improved. Bobby1011 04:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graham Freudenberg?

The article mentions Whitlam's skills as an orator. Was his speechwriter at that time Graham Freudenberg (yet to get an article) - is it worth mentioning his role?--A Y Arktos 23:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps. Do we have any references for Freudenberg's role during this period? A quote mightn't go astray if this is the case. He really should get an article of his own, anyway. Ambi 07:06, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change

It was ultimately successful, as Labor picked up eight seats and won government for the first time since 1949.

Government was last won by labor in 1945. The United Australia Party won in 1949.

[edit] Exchange rates

Does anyone have a reference for the exchange rates? They sound surprisingly high. I can't fdind any online reference that old. --Scott Davis Talk 11:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

The exchange rates are referenced in the external link to "Hopes were high..."
