Donations in action

Donations to our Annual Appeal 2024 helped us recreate the Clerk of the Senate's office on the day of the 1975 Whitlam government dismissal. James Odgers was the Clerk of the Senate on that date and witnessed the dismissal on the steps of Parliament House.

Visit the Clerk of the Senate's office at MoAD.

A stack of papers on a desk, a yellow booklet titled 'The Budget 1975-76' with the Commonwealth Coat of Arms is on top, along with a pair of black-framed reading glasses and a pen.

In a room in Old Parliament House a wooden TV with an image of Gough Whitlam is on a wooden cabinet next to a stand with a black gown and white wig. There is red carpet on the floor.

An old-fashioned grey typewriter and wooden document tray with paper in it sits on green leather-topped desk.
