Malcolm Fraser's handwritten speech notes for his announcement of commission 11 November 1975. MPs were stunned when, at 2 pm, Fraser rose from the Opposition benches to announce he had been commissioned to form a government.

Letter of dismissal from Sir John Kerr to Gough Whitlam 11 Nov 1975. This letter was handed to Whitlam by Kerr in the study at Government House. Despite the fact it brought an end to his government, Whitlam kept it for many years, recognising it as an official record and a piece of history.

Fraser's handwritten notes on conversation with Kerr, 11 Nov 1975. Kerr called Fraser on the morning of 11 Nov to discuss the conditions of his appointment, including a guarantee that Supply would pass. Kerr later claimed he had not spoken to Fraser that morning - this document suggests otherwise.

Letter from Chief Justice Barwick to Kerr, 10 November 1975. Although Whitlam had expressly told Kerr not to seek Barwick's advice, believing himself, as PM, to be Kerr's rightful adviser, Kerr did so anyway. Barwick prudently delivered his advice in writing, knowing that every word might matter.

Trump's tariffs reminds me of the Simpson's episode when Homer's brother put Homer in charge of car design. In the end Homer's car was so impractical it sent his brother's company broke. Hold on to your seat - the Trump impact is coming!

So, even though the overwhelming number of Australian's in the majority of State and territories delivered the LNP with a historic and humiliating annihilation of coalition seats, people still say the LNP is too left wing.
Sorry, but WTF?

The American financiers pulling their money and plunging the stockmarket into the red one day before Trump's tariffs kicks in reminds me of the Simpson's episode when Homer's brother put Homer in charge of car design which sent his company broke.
