Session 3: The Platform, the Policies, the People | 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.
