Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

OK, another history question:

Who brought John Gorton's Prime Ministership to an end, and what was their position at the time?
(Bonus point if you can explain the tactic used.)

Bill McMahon and something to do with the Vietnam war or a scandal involving his visit to Chequers Nightclub in Sydney. We have just read a book by Mungo MacCallum about ex Prime Ministers- interesting to say the least.
