Born in 1975? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1975? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Whitlam had led the Parliament for 3 years. His shine was starting to tarnish, and he was no longer seen as God, but as god. In the meantime, the economy was nearly ruined, half a million people were on the dole, and interest rates on home loans were 17 percent. His ministers kept on making big changes, and some of them were sensible. Towards the end of the year, he had a long-running fight with Malcolm Fraser, and the Governor General. He lost both of these, and was pensioned off as Prime Minister.

The books were written by Ron Williams who studied the newspapers day-by-day for a particular year, and then condensed the information into a book for that year.

The books are all A5, black and white, with interesting colour covers. There are no charts or graphs or heavy debate. Just facts and opinions and lots of absurd and bold comments. Very nostalgic, a bit irreverent, for the older reader.

They make great gifts for CHRISTMAS, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the like.
