Gough Whitlam didn't rise to the top to become Australia's Prime Minister; he had to fight to get there. His only free ride came just before his 1972 election victory when the winds of social change woke up conservative Australia.
Once elected Prime Minister of Australia, Gough Whitlam implemented sweeping changes at breakneck speed. He pressed on with major health and education reforms even after the faltering world economy hit home. But then the scandals erupted.
An extraordinary story of the hard-fought rise and dramatic fall of a visionary Australian Prime Minister during one of the country's most turbulent eras.
