About this work

Ingeborg Tyssen took this photograph on the streets of Melbourne in late 1975. She captures a protest against the then leader of the opposition, Malcolm Fraser, following the constitutional crisis that led to the governor-general’s dismissal of Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam on 11 November. The dismissal of the popular, progressive prime minister sparked protests nationwide, particularly among Australia’s youth.
