My manager was right.

Biography | Gough Whitlam – “His Time” by Jenny Hocking
The much-anticipated second volume of former Labor Prime Minister Gough Whitlam’s biography.
Gough Whitlam, Australia’s twenty-first prime minister, swept to power in December 1972, ending twenty-three years of conservative rule.
