Answer

The 1975 Australian constitutional crisis ended in mid-November 1975. This was when the Governor-General of Australia, Sir John Kerr, dismissed the Whitlam government and appointed Malcolm Fraser as Prime Minister. The crisis had started in October 1975, when the Senate refused to pass the government's budget. This led to a deadlock between the government and the Senate, which could not be resolved.
