Page 1 of the undelivered letter from Gough to Kerr - 11 Nov 1975

Malcolm Fraser's handwritten speech notes for his announcement of commission 11 November 1975. MPs were stunned when, at 2 pm, Fraser rose from the Opposition benches to announce he had been commissioned to form a government.

Letter of dismissal from Sir John Kerr to Gough Whitlam 11 Nov 1975. This letter was handed to Whitlam by Kerr in the study at Government House. Despite the fact it brought an end to his government, Whitlam kept it for many years, recognising it as an official record and a piece of history.

Fraser's handwritten notes on conversation with Kerr, 11 Nov 1975. Kerr called Fraser on the morning of 11 Nov to discuss the conditions of his appointment, including a guarantee that Supply would pass. Kerr later claimed he had not spoken to Fraser that morning - this document suggests otherwise.

Letter from Chief Justice Barwick to Kerr, 10 November 1975. Although Whitlam had expressly told Kerr not to seek Barwick's advice, believing himself, as PM, to be Kerr's rightful adviser, Kerr did so anyway. Barwick prudently delivered his advice in writing, knowing that every word might matter.
