The “little Aussie bleeder” as a time traveller able to be present at cataclysmic national moments feels entirely plausible, considering Gunston wielded a microphone on the steps of Old Parliament House on November 11, 1975, just as prime minister Gough Whitlam emerged to rail against the governor-general, Sir John Kerr, for sacking his government.
