Gough Whitlam, former Prime Minister and Greatest Living Australian, has sent this email on the anniversary of his election to government and Malcolm Farnsworth’s birthday:
Everybody knows that this is the anniversary of Napoleon I’s coronation and Louis Napoleon’s coup d’état and the defeats of ramshackle and reactionary coalitions by Napoleon at Austerlitz, by me in Canberra and by Goss in Brisbane. I’m sure your staff will remember that it is the anniversary of your birth.
Many happy returns
Gough Whitlam
