Image shown at Roger Scott's exhibition The 1970s: A Decade of Protest held at the Museum of Sydney in 2008. A Sydney Morning Herald reviewer wrote of this picture: "On a muggy November day in 1975, two weeks after the dismissal of Gough Whitlam, a young photographer named Roger Scott attended a Liberal Party rally at Randwick Racecourse. 'There were about 20,000 Liberal supporters there,' Scott says. 'And Malcolm Fraser, standing up on the flatbed of a semitrailer, whipping them into a frenzy.' Wriggling through the crowd, camera in hand, Scott made his way onto the back of Fraser's flatbed and, standing up, began taking photos. 'He was really egging on the crowd, saying things like, "A vote for Labor is a vote for the communists,"' Scott says. 'After a while I'd just had enough and Iyelled out: "Fraser, you're a f---ing dope!"' Incensed, the Liberal leader whipped around and pointed at Scott just as he snapped a piece of Australian photographic history." (Ref: SMH, 15/03/2008). Illustrated in Roger Scott: From the Street, 2001, p109.
