Highlights: Whitlam Institute Symposium 2022 | Breaking Ground 2022 | Whitlam Institute

On October 21, the Whitlam Institute held a Symposium titled ‘Breaking Ground: Lessons in Preparing for and Winning Government’, the first of a series that will look back upon and examine this period. We were thrilled to use this opportunity to launch two 50th Anniversary Legacy Papers that draw together the strands of the sixties and early seventies to highlight how Gough Whitlam engaged with and embodied a rapidly changing Australia in order to end Labor’s decades long period in Opposition.
Thank you to Frank Bongiorno, Michelle Arrow, Meredith Burgmann, Jenny Hocking, Patrick Mullins, Rose Jackson, Patrick Dodson, Hannah Forsyth, Emily Millane, Kim Williams, Paul Kelly, Laura Tingle, John Faulkner, Charlie Joyce, Henri Vickers, and Swapnik Sanagavarapu for your important contributions to the Symposium.
