Second try.

Happy birthday Gough. 97 today.

Many here would not recognise Australia before Gough. He brought so many reforms into being and we haven't looked back. He changed Australia forever.

Love Gough! What a strong orator, nobody like him since. I went to a function where he spoke, wow it was fantastic. He was amazing.

Happy birthday, Gough and thanks for the good things you did for society.

Definitely some good things came out of the Whitlam era.

Yes, he sure is. I was invited to a dinner with him, his wife, and a group of aboriginal people in the early 90s. He was very impressive in the way he engaged with everyone there.

Ahhh, jealous, you're lucky Freaky! He'd be #1 on my imaginary dinner party guest list.
