Spanning his remarkable life from 1916 to his passing in 2014, the collection chronicles the vision, courage, and controversy that defined a man who reshaped Australia's social fabric — from universal healthcare and free university education to the recognition of China and the end of conscription.\n\nWith a foreword by Labor elder statesman John Faulkner, the volume draws together reflections, imagery, and testimony that illuminate Whitlam's singular place in the national consciousness. His government's dramatic dismissal in 1975 remains one of the most debated constitutional crises in Australian history, and this tribute ensures that the weight of his achievements is never eclipsed by that singular moment. For admirers and critics alike, it poses an irresistible question: what does Australia owe the man who dared to It's Time?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269337129179,"sku":"2026100009340-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/89d3e6a8-d21e-4836-9b1c-ec3627496d81.png?v=1788998405","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009340-secondhand-gough-whitlam-a-tribute-1916-2014","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
