MEDIA RELEASE PROTEST AGAINST THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL
Statement by the Acting Prime Minister, Mr. Anthony
The action of demonstrators in engaging in vandalism
at St. Stephen's Church in Sydney was deplorable, and will be
condemned by the great majority of people.
What this hooligan element does not seem to understand
is that it was not Sir John Kerr who turned a 5-seat Labor
majority in Federal Parliament into a 55-seat Liberal-National
Country Party majority last December, but the Australian people
themselves. The Labor Party itself stands condemned for its continued
failure to make the slightest effort to disown the actions of
a violent, very small minority in attacking the constitutional
and democratic system which enabled the community to express
its own judgement last year.
