Raise your trousers and go,’ was Malcolm’s dismissal. I’m sure there was lot less pain involved in that dismissal than his more infamous dismissal of Gough Whitlam a couple of years later. How about that? Humanitarian and official International Eminent Persion and Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser actually whipped a terrified student. I know he was terrified because he was my brother and terror came easily to him.
Could you imagine the more mature Malcolm 2004 whipping a frightened teenaged stripling? When Malcolm administered those six lashes to my brother’s buttocks he was head of prefects at Melbourne Grammar.
