.... art and poetry came into his life by way of his father Giovanni, a court painter to the Duke of Urbino.

Today, Whitlam declares himself to be a Republican, but he confesses he only came to this way of thinking after his dismissal, when he and the nation saw for the first time just how much power the Queen and her representatives really had, despite their lack of control over day to day running of the Government.

Quickly he gained respect and recognition for his research in electrochemistry and thermodynamics. He also authored several books arising from his research.
