The 'palace letters': read the full documents from the national archives here.
Previously secret correspondence between the Queen and then-governor
general Sir John Kerr has been published by the Australian national
archives 45 years after Gough Whitlam’s Labor government was dismissed
The “palace letters” are a series of letters exchanged between
governor general Sir John Kerr and Buckingham Palace during Kerr’s time
in office.
The letters cover the critical period leading up to Kerr’s hugely
controversial dismissal of Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam’s
Labor government in November 1975 and the aftermath.
You can download and read the files here, and we’ve embedded a full copy of the papers below.
If you see anything newsworthy, please bring it to our attention with this form. Update: You can now also download the entire archive as a single, searchable PDF here, with the caveat that it has been made searchable using optical character recognition which does not always work correctly.
