Today marks the 30th anniversary of election of the Whitlam Govt.
Although some readers could consider this off topic or too
political I find it is significant to tramways in Australia,because
the Whitlam Govt kickstarted the financing of the Z class trams.
Though the majority of tram fans despise the Z class trams,the entry
into service of these vehicles saved the Melb system.
What is not widely known that in the same month the victorian state
cabinet by a majority of one voted to retain the Melb Tramway system,
and acquire the 100 Z class trams.
