'Forty-five years after they were written, hundreds of previously secret letters between the queen and the governor-general of Australia, Sir John Kerr, relating to the dismissal of the Whitlam government in 1975 will be released in full by the National Archives of Australia this morning.'
'The release of 211 letters from 1975 to 1976, between the then governor general Sir John Kerr and Buckingham Palace, after a hard-fought court battle by historian Professor Jenny Hocking, reveal collusion between the Palace and Sir John Kerr in the sacking of a democratically elected Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam.'
