About this listen

In this special episode, Michael Lester speaks with Professor Jenny Hocking, AM, about the ongoing controversy surrounding the 1975 dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam—50 years on. As a historian and biographer from Monash University, Jenny shares her decade-long journey through royal secrecy and deception, revealing the hidden story behind the vice-regal intervention. After the High Court’s intervention, she authored the groundbreaking Palace Letters, based on over 200 letters between the palace and the governor-general. Join us as we delve into the search for truth behind that pivotal moment in Australian democracy—an ongoing quest for transparency and justice.
