FOR PRESS 9 DECEMBER, 1978
MRS. GOLDA MEIR
Mrs. Golda Meir was one of the outstanding women of
the world.
She dedicated her life to the service of her country and to
the long search for a secure future for the state of Israel.
From the time of her arrival in the British mandated territory
of Palestine, the main aim of her lifewas the creation and
later the consolidation of Israel.
As Minister for Labor, for Foreign Affairs and finally as
Prime Minister, she served her country with dedication and
with indomitable courage.
She gained the admiration of her countrymen, and of people
everywhere for her tenacity and her devotion to Israel.
In Australia we share the sorrow of Israelis at her passing.
