Answer
The Whitlam government held equal Senate numbers with the opposition, the Liberal Party and the Country Party. This meant that the government was unable to pass legislation without the support of the opposition. The opposition used this power to block many of the Whitlam government's policies, including its plans for national health insurance and a new national education system.
