The courage of Malcolm Fraser: Denis White
Manage episode 327768042 series 2949505
Malcolm Fraser led a Liberal Party Government for seven years and 122 days. When he lost to Bob Hawke at 1983 election, no prime minister except Robert Menzies had occupied the job for longer.
Yet his reputation has been overshadowed by the controversy about the way he came power and quarrels with his own party after leaving it.
Six years after his death, a fresh appraisal is long overdue, one unclouded or the dismissal of Gough Whitlam that put in into government by the political arguments in his post-parliamentary years.
Dennis White worked for Fraser in his final term. He has set out to put the record straight in a monograph: Fraser in Office. White joins Menzies Research Centre Executive Director Nick Cater for this Watercooler Conversation

About Fraser in Office: Fraser in Office is a long-overdue reappraisal of Australia’s 22nd Prime Minister. It examines Malcolm Fraser’s prime ministership in historical context, recognising the challenge of restoring good government after the Whitlam years. Unclouded by later political disputes and separated from the extraordinary manner by which he entered office, Fraser emerges as a leader of considerable substance.
