Gough Whitlam and his contribution to Australia?
Gough Whitlam made a large contribution to Australia, mainly in the three areas of Aboriginal and women rights as well as multiculturalism. Whitlam introduced womens equality and gave them equal pay. This led to more women joining the workforce and straying from the stereotype of being a housewife. More women joined university and they were able to work in more jobs (unlike before where they were only able to work in teaching, nursing and being receptionists). Due to Whitlam, they were also given maternity leave which let them work and have children at the same time without losing their jobs. Womens abuse, harassment and discrimination decreased and they were finally being seen as independent. For aboriginals, he created schools which allowed aboriginal children to learn about their culture and lifestyle. he also introduced a flag which basically gave them a bit more independence. Their traditions and their history became more learnt about. Whitlam also stopped conscription and criminal execution. He also took Australian troops out of the Vietnam war and essentially saved many lives as well as stopped the white australian policy. There were many ways in which he contributed to Australia. Without increasing equality as he did, we wouldnt be like we are today.

Did Gough Whitlam run the country well?
Some would say yes he did. He introduced a lot of social reforms including Medicare (Medibank), changes to the Family Court, withdrew Australian forces from Vietnam and abolished conscription, equal opportunities for women in Federal Government employment, introduced the Metric System of weights and measures, and a great range of other social and economic improvements. Some feel he was defeated in the end by political manouvering by his opponents. However, on the other side of the coin: whilst initially popular, the fast pace of Whitlam's reforms engendered caution amongst the electorate, and the economy was beset by high inflation combined with economic stagnation.
