The First Dismissal – Part One and a Half: The Public Servant Who Brought Down The Premier

When – if – Robert Henry Beardsmore is mentioned in connection with the May 1932 dismissal of Jack Lang, he's depicted as merely an old public servant who reluctantly did his job. But in reality he was the Forrest Gump of Australian history in the first half of the 20th Century.

Part B is on the way!Want to support the show? patreon.com/forgottenaustraliaOr leave a rating & review Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
