With wit and wisdom they provide an opportunity to reflect on the state of Australian politics and expose the robust nature of Australian democracy. Exhibiting in the Riverside Theatres foyer from 11 April to 27 May 2012!

We have assembled a modest tribute to Margaret Whitlam here on this webpage, drawing on the Whitlam Prime Ministerial Collection. We expect to offer a more permanent recognition of this great Australian at a later date.
The quiet death of Mrs Margaret Whitlam AO overnight (17 March) has stirred many emotions for all here at the Whitlam Institute.
Since the Institute’s foundation in 2000 Margaret has been guardian, benefactor and friend; a frequent visitor and most faithful supporter of this Institute’s work and ambitions. While there will be time to speak at greater length of such things, for now we would simply say farewell.
