  • Edward Gough Whitlam, AC, QC (born 11 July 1916), known as Gough Whitlam, is an Australian former politician and 21st Prime Minister of Australia. A member of the Australian Labor Party, Whitlam entered Federal Parliament in 1952, winning a by-election for the Division of Werriwa in New South Wales. In 1960 Whitlam was elected deputy leader of the ALP and in 1967, following the resignation of Arthur Calwell after a disastrous election defeat the year before, he assumed the position of Leader of the Opposition. After falling short of gaining enough seats to win government at the 1969 election, Whitlam led the Labor Party to victory at the 1972 election after 23 years of Liberal-Country Party government. After winning the 1974 election, he was dismissed in 1975 by Governor-General Sir John Kerr following a protracted constitutional crisis caused by a refusal of opposition Coalition members to pass supply bills in the Senate, and lost the subsequent 1975 election. He is the only Australian Prime Minister to have been dismissed by the Governor-General, using reserve powers. Although his government spent a relatively short time in office, many of the policies and institutions set up under it are still evident today, such as Medicare. His 'presidential' style of politics, the socially progressive policies he pursued, and the dramatic dismissal and subsequent election loss still arouse intense passion and debate. (en)
  • Gough Whitlam, född 11 juli 1916 i Kew, Victoria, är en australisk politiker som var landets premiärminister december 1972–november 1975. Ursprungligen advokat belv han parlamentsledamot från 1952 och ledare för laborpartiet 1967-1978 och premiärminister 1972–1975. Han upprättade närmare förbindelser med Asien, lotsade Australien ur landets Vietnamengagemang, försökte sig på en omfördelning av rikedomar och tog lån för att öka nationellt ägarskap av industri och naturtillgångar. När oppositionen stoppade finansiella förslag i senaten, efter en förtroendekris, vägrade Whitlam att utlysa allmänna val och avsattes av generalguvernören, sir John Kerr.

  • Gough Whitlam (nac. en 1916, en Kew, Victoria) es un político australiano. Fue electo Primer Ministro en 1972. Durante su gobierno, eliminó el servicio militar obligatorio, abolió la pena de muerte, promulgó leyes en favor de los aborígenes australianos y realizó otras importantes reformas de carácter social. En 1975 fue derrocado por un golpe de estado. Pero a diferencia de los golpes de estado ocurridos en América Latina, donde a menudo, el ejército se subleva y hace caer al gobierno, el golpe de 1975 en Australia se realizó usando tecnicismos legales de la Constitución de Australia.

  • Edward Gough Whitlam, (11 luglio 1916) conosciuto come Gough Whitlam, politico australiano e ventunesimo premier. Nel 1972, dopo 23 anni di opposizione, ha riportato alla guida del governo federale il partito Laburista ed è stato, suo malgrado, protagonista di una crisi costituzionale che spinse il Governatore generale a revocargli il mandato di premier per affidarlo al capo dell'opposizione liberale. Durante il suo breve governo riuscì a far approvare dal parlamento un sistema mutualistico universale. (it)
  • Edward Gough Whitlam (* 11. Juli 1916 in Melbourne, Victoria) war der 21. Premierminister Australiens. Seine Amtszeit dauerte vom 5. Dezember 1972 bis zum 11. November 1975. Vom 8. Februar 1967 bis zum 5. Dezember 1972, sowie vom 11. November 1975 bis zum 22. Dezember 1977 war er der Oppositionsführer. Bislang ist er der einzige australische Premierminister, welcher vom Generalgouverneur seines Amtes enthoben wurde. Gough Whitlam ist bis heute eine der umstrittensten politischen Persönlichkeiten der australischen Geschichte. Auch rückblickend führt dies immer noch zu hitzigen Debatten zwischen Befürwortern und Gegnern seiner Politik. Eine emotionsfreie Betrachtung seiner Amtszeit als Premierminister sowie der Umstände seiner Amtsenthebung scheint weiterhin in weiter Ferne zu liegen. (de)
