Gough Whitlam has voted in the ALP’s rank-and-file leadership ballot.
The ABC’s Melissa Clarke has published on Twitter a picture of Whitlam’s voter declaration.
The ballot to elect the ALP’s next federal leader closes tomorrow. It pits the former Deputy Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, against the Minister for Workplace Relations and Education, Bill Shorten.
The ALP Caucus voted this afternoon. The Caucus result will be weighted at 50%, as will the rank-and-file ballot.
The result will be announced on Sunday.
Whitlam is 97. He was Prime Minister between 1972 and 1975.
