We kick off with a topic close to our hearts, the 50th anniversary of the Dismissal of the Whitlam Government.

We have three of the best sources in the nation taking part: our Editor-in-Chief John Menadue - the living link to the scandal and the nation’s top public servant at the time; Jenny Hocking, author of The Palace Letters and Australia’s pre-eminent Dismissal historian; and Brian Toohey, the journalist who has dug deepest into the darkest elements of the events.

We all, no matter our political convictions, remember where we were when we heard that Whitlam had been sacked. Fifty years later, we still don’t have all the facts. Menadue, Hocking and Toohey will shed new light on the most extraordinary event in Australian political history.
