Whitlam Dismissal: The day Australia's PM was sacked | 50 years on

Fifty years on, Associate Editor and Special Writer for The Age, Tony Wright, revisits that extraordinary day, the events that led up to it, and explains the constitutional crisis and how the shock of the Dismissal continues to shape Australian democracy.
