King Charles is set to visit Australia for his first tour as Sovereign. The visit throws into light the role of the monarchy in Australia and its representative, the Governor-General. King Charles may say he's not involved in politics, but why is Buckingham Palace still refusing to release the so-called “Palace letters” about the dismissal of Gough Whitlam in 1975?
Guest: Jenny Hocking, biographer, Emeritus Professor of History at Monash Uni and author of The Dismissal Dossier: Everything you were Never Meant to Know about November 1975 – the Palace Connection (2017).
