This is an article on my Dad's cousin, Rex Connor. He was the guy that Whitlam shafted on the Kemlani Affair, trying to borrow $4 billion. Within the next 5 years the Frazer Liberal party borrowed the same in amount in 2 installments. They borrowed from the proper sources. It proved the money was needed.This article was on front page of the Illawarra Daily Mercury. It was left out of their Special...Memorable Front Page Headlines. Left out ... We wonder why?
The big fella believed in "Buy Back the Farm." Dad always said he was a controversial figure... but he was no mug.

Rex Connor was indeed a great man. But whether he was 'shafted' by Whitlam is another question. My take on it is that they were both shafted by the Liberal opposition and its toadies in the Murdoch press (some things never change). The media beats up issues on one day, turning them into 'scandals' - the next day the same things done by their mates are just business as usual..
