Congratulations to Jenny Hocking, Allison Cadzow, Frank Bongiorno and Joshua Black on the publication of two Whitlam Institute Fiftieth Anniversary Legacy Papers marking the political events of 1974. In ‘The Election That Never Was’: The 1974 Double Dissolution, Gough Whitlam’s Second Election Victory, Jenny and Allison delve into the events surrounding the momentous double dissolution of 1974. In That ‘Historic Occasion’: The Joint Sitting of 6-7 August 1974, Frank and Josh revisit and examine the legacy of the ‘historic’ Joint Sitting that followed the earlier double dissolution. Congratulations to these authors!
