This is a very poor article which I will fix when I get time. Adam 14:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Labour economic mismangement and following cover up attempt
The current text sounds like a left wing spin. Excuses for economic mismangement. This part needs NPOV not a sympathy for Labour leader.
Beset by economic difficulties at the time and the negative political impact which the Loans Affair conjured, the Whitlam Government was very vulnerable to further assaults on its credibility. Gough Whitlam was prompted to sack Dr. Cairns from his cabinet.
[edit] Chronology
The chronology is confused and incomplete. Australian Constitutional Crisis article implies the Affair occurred before 1974 Election (which I assume is false). In this article, the dates are either not given or out of order (July coming before June). It also implies that the Coalition blocked supply after the resignation of Connor but actually this threat was first raised preceding the 1974 Election. I have tried to correct this and tidy up generally. It still could be improved. There is no information on the "leaking" of the scandal.--Jack Upland 03:16, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
