Whose Party Is This? Ours or his

This episode examines the April 1968 crisis in the Australian Labor Party: Gough Whitlam's public clash with the Victorian branch, the disputed Tasmanian delegate, and the dramatic decision to resign and recontest the leadership.

It covers Jim Cairns' challenge, the tight caucus vote, and the wider implications for party reform, factional conflict, and Whitlam's authority going forward.
