澳大利亚将用堪培拉的一座雕像向前总理Gough Whitlam致敬, Australia will honor former PM Gough Whitlam with a statue in Canberra, 50 years after his controversial dismissal.

澳大利亚前总理Gough Whitlam将在堪培拉竖立一座纪念雕像,标志着总督John Kerr爵士在预算陷入僵局期间解除其职务50周年。 A statue honoring former Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam will be erected in Canberra, marking 50 years since his dismissal by Governor-General Sir John Kerr during a budget deadlock. 总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯宣布了这项致敬,称惠特兰是一个改革的领导人,他推进了医疗保险,结束了白色澳大利亚政策,并支持土著的土地权利. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the tribute, calling Whitlam a transformative leader who advanced Medicare, ended the White Australia policy, and supported Indigenous land rights. Albanese谴责解雇是违反民主规范的“党派政治伏击”, 强调惠特拉姆政府连续两次赢得选举。 Albanese condemned the dismissal as a "partisan political ambush" that breached democratic norms, stressing that Whitlam’s government had won two consecutive elections. 该雕像将安放在旧议会大厦,Whitlam的终身统治和迁离地点,象征着民主的韧性。 The statue will be placed at Old Parliament House, the site of Whitlam’s tenure and removal, symbolizing democratic resilience. 惠特拉姆(Whitlam)的后遗症仍引起分裂, 保守批评者则以经济管理不善及快速改革为借口, While celebrated by Labor supporters, Whitlam’s legacy remains divisive, with conservative critics citing economic mismanagement and rapid reforms.
