YEAR BOOK 1967 – WHAT ELSE HAPPENED?

So what did happen in 1967? Postcodes were introduced and you could now pay your debts with a five-dollar note. You could talk-back on radio, about a brand new ABC TV show called “This Day Tonight”. There was no point in talking any more to the Privy Council of the Brits – Oz was the only appealing place left to go. Getting a job was easy with unemployment at 1.8%. Arthur Calwell left at last, Whitlam took his place, Harold Holt drowned, and Menzies wrote his first book after retirement.
