FAMILY and friends have surrounded former prime minister and legendary Labor leader Gough Whitlam to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his momentous 1972 election victory.
Among those joining Mr Whitlam for lunch at Lulworth House in Sydney on Sunday were his children, Antony, Nicholas, Stephen and Catherine, speechwriter Evan Williams, Senator John Faulkner and director of the Whitlam Institute, Eric Sidoti.
Mr Whitlam, now 96, was unable to attend a public celebration last month.
Mr Sidoti said it was only right Mr Whitlam took "centre stage" for the special anniversary.
"Though it may be a much more private stage than what he dominated throughout his public life, there can be no doubt that Gough Whitlam and his government profoundly changed Australia and for the better," Mr Sidoti said.
"The fires of reform that Gough Whitlam lit, burn still."
