Excuse me, but I had no idea of a coup in Australia in 1975. This has
already been repeated along these threads, and I guess I am not the
only one in this case. Could you expand, please?

And don't think your local issues boring at all. They are very
interesting, and much to the contrary all of you are offering the
first 3D picture I ever had of Australian politics. Which, by the way,
is not a minor politics with mounting tensions in the world and
Australia at one of the angles of the polygon of the Pacific (Japan,
USA, Australia). As an Argentinean, on the other hand, I am very
interested in the history of Australia and of New Zealand,
particularly in the period that ends in the 1960s.
