Gough Whitlam addresses reporters outside Parliament in Canberra after his dismissal by Australia's Governor-General, 11 Nov 1975
Australia's 21st Prime Minister Gough Whitlam [goff WIT-luhm] has died in Sydney, aged 98. By many accounts an unrivalled visionary who returned Labor to power after more than two decades in opposition, he set Australia on a path of reform -- the legacy of which still lives on today. Mr Whitlam led the country through a period of massive social change from 1972 to 1975 before his controversial ousting by governor-general Sir John Kerr. Our presenter Maheswaran Prabaharan reports in Tamil a feature prepared by Kristina Kukolja for SBS News.
