My favourite Gough quote:
“When Sir Winton Turnbull [who represented a large rural seat], a slow and sometimes stumbling speaker, was raving and ranting on the adjournment and shouted: “I am a Country member.” I interjected “I remember.” Sir Winton could not understand why, for the first time in all the years he had been speaking in the House, there was instant and loud applause from both sides.”

Oh shit that was Whitlam? I always associated that with Keating for some reason.
