Former Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam has died.
Mr
Whitlam led the country through a period of massive social change from
1972 to 1975 before his ousting by governor-general Sir John Kerr."Our father, Gough Whitlam, has died this morning at the age of 98," Mr Whitlam's family said in a statement.
"A loving and generous father, he was a source of inspiration to us and our families and for millions of Australians.
"There will be a private cremation and a public memorial service."
More to come.
