The Fraser government won the biggest election victory in Australian history on December 13, 1975, and the Sunday Observer expressed its relief on the front page.

“Thank Bloody Christ” said the front page of the Melbourne paper the next day.

At the time, the Sunday Observer was owned by Maxwell Newton, a former editor of the Australian Financial Review, and the first editor of The Australian.
