Tempo on the Pulse<p>I was at the August 1976 anti-Fraser demo at Monash. Since then I've often looked at photos of the event, but today I saw a photo which I'm pretty sure included me! It's impossible to be certain, but several contemporaries have agreed its me. BTW, he was barricaded into a toilet. They claim it was an engineer's office, but also say they had to squeeze him out of a small window. An engineer with only a window that small in his office? </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Fraser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fraser</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MalcolmFraser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MalcolmFraser</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Monash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Monash</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MonashUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MonashUniversity</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Protest</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WhitlamDismissal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhitlamDismissal</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WeWantGough" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeWantGough</span></a></p>
