NOTES FOR A SPEECH BY THE PRIME MINISTER AT A D
CIVIC LUNCH CASINO-MONDAY 14 JANUARY 1974
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. ANTHONY FOR'INTRODUCING
ME. I HAVE OBSERVED WITH INTEREST IN THE LAST WEERKTHE MOVES
FOR HIS PARTY TO MERGE WITH ANOTHER SMALLER GROUP INTO WHAT
IS BEING TERMED THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE. THESE MOVES HAVE THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF SEEING THE SECOND NATIONAL ALLIANCE . TO COME
ON TO THE POLITICAL SCENE IN AUSTRALIA. ' THOSE TWO WORDS COULD
EASILY HAVE BEEN USED TO DESCRIBE THE LABOR PARTY FOR MANY
YEARS, FOR THE LABOR PARTY HAS BEEN THE ONLY POLITICAL
ORGANISATION IN AUSTRALIA WHICH CAN TRULY CLAIM TO REPRESENT
AN ALLIANCE OF ALL OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS. iR
IT IS NOT A SECTION!_-PARTY. IT HAS ALWAYS
" PRESEiTED PEOPLE THROUG'Ij. V OUR NATION AND NOT JUST THOSE
' HO LIVE IN PART OF If. IT IS NEITHER A CITY PARTY ALONE NOR
' IRRAL PARTY ALONE, IT . EPF.: CLNTS BOTH SECTIONS OF OUR
0 COUNTRY, NOR IS IT SIMPLY A WORKING-CLASS PARTY, TO BE SURE
' TS FOUNDATIONS LIE IN THE NEEDS OF WORKING MEN AND WE WILL
S ALWAYS BE DEDICATED TO PRESERVING THEIR INTERESTS, BUT IT iS
.' IJST AS MUCH CONCERNED WITH THE NEEDS OF OTHER PEOPLE IN THE
CO23IMUNITY, . I MAKE THIS POINT BECAUSE I FEEL THERE HAS BEEN SOME
-! DENCY, INEVITABLY PROMOTED BY OUR OPPONENTS, TO BRAND THE
) R PARTY AS AN ANTI-RURAL PARTY,. THE TRUTH IS WE ARE
"' Di \ TED TO THE CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF SELF-SUFFICIENT,
: OS'pROUS AND FFcir; ' ST iNiiDS ' RIES
4' ' l l

I S. 0' A
TO ACHIEVE. THIS AIM WE ARE STRIVING TO IMPROVE THE DOMESTIC
MARKET FOR. PRIMARY PRODUCE, TO CONSOLIDATE EXISTING EXPORT
S MARKETS AND TO CREATE NEW MARKETS. ' I BELIEVE THAT THE LAST
. YEAR HAS. UNDOUBTEDLY BEEN A SUCCESSFUL ONE IN THOSE TERMS.
. CONTRARY-TO WHAT THE PREACHERS OFTHE RURAL-DOOMSDAY MIGHT.
S SAY, PRIMARY INDUSTRY IN AUSTRALIA GENERALLY IS EXTREMELY
BUOYANT. AT PRESENT. LET US LOOK FOR EVIDENCE OF THIS.. ASSERTION
THE. FIGURES FOR FARM INCOME IN AUSTRALIA. IN THE THREE
YEARS ENDED 1969/ 70 . FARM INCOME AVERAGED ABOUT $ 1,050 M,
" A YEAR. . THE ONSET OF DROUGHT AND DECLINING PRICES CAUSED
FARM INCOME TO DROP TO $ 885 M. IN 1970/ 71 AND MANY PRODUCERS
FACED SERIOUS FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES. THOSE PROBLEMS HAVE
BY AND LARGE BEEN COMPLETELY REVERSED AND THE CURRENT ESTIMATE
i! FARM INCOME FOR 1973/ 74 IS $ 2,885 M. MORE THAN THREE TIMES
AS GREPT AS IN 1970/ 71 AND WELL OVER DOUBLE THE AVERAGE INCOME
FOR THE THREE YEARS BEFORE THEN.
A SIMILAR PATTERN OF IMPROVEMENT CAN BE SEEN BY
EXAMINING THE'FIGURES FOR EXPORTS OF RURAL ORIGIN, IN 1971/ 72
AUSTRALIA EARNED $ 2,419.3 M. FROM THESE EXPORTS. IT IS
ESTIMATED THAT IN 1973/ 74 THEY WILL BE WORTH .$ 3874.4 M.
A VERY HEALTHY IMPROVEMENT. INDEED.
ONE OF THE INDUSTRIES WHICH HAS BENEFITED PARTICULARLY
' OM THE RESURGENCE OF OUR RURAL AREAS IS THE MEAT INDUSTRY, WHICH
SATTRACTING INCREASING SUPPORT IN THIS, AREA. PRODUCTION OF
BEEF AND VEAL HAS GROWN AND EXPORTS HAVE ALSO INCREASED QUITE
,; 1AMitTICALLY. AUSTRALIA EXPORTED 339,000 TONNES OF BEEF AND
VEAL IN 1970/ 71'. THIS GREW TO 585,000 TONNES IN 1972/ 73 AND
CURRENT ESTIMATES ARE THAT WE WILL EXPORT 658,000 TONNES IN

-3-
1973/ 74 ALMOST A DOUBLING OF OUR EXPORT MARKET-IN THREE
YEARS. ONE-INDUSTRY OF, CONCERN TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS
AREA THE DAIRY INDUSTRY-HAS FACED CONTINUING PROBLEMS$
I AM AWARE* THAT. OUR DECISION TO PHASE OUT THE DAIRY BOUNTY
HAS AROUSED CRITICISM AMONG DAIRYING INTERESTS. HOWEVER,
I WOULD EMPHASISE THAT THIS DECISION IS IN-LINE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT'S CONVICTION THAT THE EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC
FUNDS SHOULD BE PURPOSEFUL. IN OUR VIEW THE DAIRY BOUNTY
HAD CEASED TO BE PURPOSEFUL. DESPITE THE OUTLAY OF $ 770 M.
OVER THE YEARS THE BOUNTY HAD NOT CONTRIBUTED TO SOLVING
THE INDUSTRY'S MAJOR PROBLEM THAT OF ADJUSTING FARM
PRODUCTION TO REALISTIC LOCAL. AND OVERSEAS MARKET DEMAND.
AS A WT.'! RE MEASURE THE BOUNTY PROVED INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE
IE BULI CF -I , ENT TO THE LARGER AND WEALTHIER PRODUCERS
WHO NEEDED IT LEAST, IT HAD ALSO BECOME BUILT INTO THE
PRICE OF LAND AND OTHER DA! RY INPUTS AND-ADDED TO PRODUCTION
COSTS. EVEN BEFORE THE BUDGET, THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF THE
DAIRYING DIVISION OF THE VICTORIAN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
HAD ARGUED THAT ANY BENEFITS FARMERS HAD RECEIVED FROM THE
D ONTY HAD LONG BEEN CANCELLED OUT BY UNREALISTIC LAND
PRICES AND OTHER CAPITAL GAINS. 4/
a

WE HAVE DECIDED TO GET AWAY FROM AN OPEN-ENDED
COMMITMENT. TO THE BOUNTY, WHICH IS LEAVING THE FUNDAMENTAL
PROBLEMS OF THE INDUSTRY UNSOLVED4 AND TO PROVIDE MONEY TO
STABILISE THE INDUSTRY SO THAT IT CAN STAND ON ITS OWN
FEET. WE WILL DO THIS BY INDUSTRY ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE
AND WE HAVE UNDERTAKEN TO DEVELOP, ADJUSTMENT. PROPOSALS IN
CONSULTATION WITH THE INDUSTRY. EXTENSIVE CONSULTATION
HAS GONE ON ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY SINCE AUGUST AND OFFICERS
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRY HAVE VISITED'ABOUT
FORTY GROUPS IN ALL STATES INCLUDING THE NORTH COAST REGION.
THEY HAVE CONSULTED, AMONG OTHERS, THE CASINO CO-OPERATIVE
DAIRY SOCIETY LIMITED, NORCO CO-OPERATIVE LIMITED, THE
KYOGLE RURAL RE-CONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE, . THE NEW SOUTH WALES.

STATE AIITHORITIES. ' TEY COVER THE POSSIBLE BROADENIiG OF
THE EXISTING-MARGiNAL DAIRY FARM RE-CONSTRUCTION SCHEME AND
A HUiMBER OF PROPOSALS FOR ACTION AT BOTH FARM AND FACTORY
LEVEL. THE DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRY IS NOW GIVING TOP
" RTORITY TO ANALYSING AND ASSESSING THE'MERITS OF THESE
PROPOSALS AND THE POSSIBLE COSTS: IT iS DOING THIS IN THE
. GHT OF THE GOVERNMENT'S WISH THAT ADJUSTMENT EXPENDITURE

THE POINT I HAVE TRIED TO STRESS IN MY REMARKS
SO FAR IS THAT THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT, AS ANY GOVERNMENT
MUST, RECOGNISES THE VITAL IMPORYANCE OF OUR RURAL AREAS
FOR THE WHOLE NATION. IN KEEPING WITH THIS RECOGNITION,
THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED IN DECEMBER THAT IT WOULD HOLD AN
INQUIRY INTO ALL ASPECTS OF RURAL POLICY IN AUSTRALIA, THE
INOIJIRY, TO BE CONDUCTED BY A WORKING GROUP, WILL RESULT IN
THE FIRST GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED REPORT ON OVERALL RURAL
POLICYISINCE THE PUBLICATION OF " AGRICUILTURAL PRODUCTION:
AIMS AND POLICIES" BYTHE FORMER DEPARTMENT'OF COMMERCE AND
AGRICULTURE IN 1952,0 OVER 20 YEARS AGO. A MAJOR BASIS FOR
THE INQUIRY IS THE GOVERNMENT'S VIEW THAT TH'ERE IS NO PLACE
IN THE ECONOMY FOR A RURAL POLICY THAT IS NOT,-BOTH EQLJITAI3LE,
FOR PRIMARY PRODUCERS AND ECONOMICALLY' SOHIIND
IN ANNOUNCING THE INQUIRY, THE MINISTER FOR
PRIMARY INDUSTRY, SENATOR 107! ' QIFflT, ANV; V\ X THF
