How did Whitlam get his first job?
Whitlam enrolled at St Paul’s College at the University of Sydney at the age of 18.

What is the history of the Electorate of Whitlam?
In 1901, the electorate centred on the rural city of Goulburn but 50 years later, it covered the rapidly growing south-east and south-west Sydney suburbs and extended to Wollongong. Whitlam won the seat with a record majority of 66% of the vote, and celebrated by buying the family’s first car and a hat – then essential to the politician’s outfit.
