November 11
More than any other particular date, 11 November is the one that most resonates through Australian history, all with a strange strand of the developing national identity.
1854 - the Ballarat Reform League first met at Bakery Hill right by the goldfields. The central and sacred notion of the League is pushed in the motion they pass: “The people are the only legitimate source of all political power.”
1880 - Ned Kelly hung at Melbourne Gaol. “Such is life,” the bushranger is reported to have said as the noose was tightened around his throat.
1918 - At 11am, the Armistice of the Great War. In 1997, Governor-General Sir William Deane issued a proclamation formally declaring day to be Remembrance Day, urging all Australians to observe one minute silence at 11.00am on 11 November each year.
1975 - The Dismissal – the democratically elected leader of the Australian people, Gough Whitlam, was sacked by Her Majesty’s representative, Sir John Kerr.
