No that's the thing, he was actually a good guy. And an avid surfer; this day went in where the surf is particularly dangerous, was never seen again. A GF from school & I were on the fone for 3 hrs when the news came thru, we were both upset, & scared. There were rumours that a sub had grabbed him.😳
No, as prime minister, he set about dismantling Australia's institutional racism. Sure, it was time, but he put in the energy to get it done.
This is largely forgotten in the method of his death. There's a joke theory that he was taken by a Chinese submarine, which I think originated with racists.

It was a time rife with these sorts of incidents wasn't it! All within 6 years if memory serves. Or was Holt '67, not '69?
I don't know why we all laugh whenever this comes up - after all, someone died...presumably.
That's the infamous Australian Black Humour for you, further exemplified by the fact that a Melbourne council built a Harold Holt Memorial Pool. 🤭
The devils humor is superior for sure.
“How do you lose a Prime Minister?”
😂😂😂
Is he a famous Australian?
