N. S. W. LIBERAL PARTY DINNER, SYDNEY
There are times, I believe, during the course of an election
when the people of a nation make fundamental choices about the
sort of country they want to live in.
A choice of one party over another at such watershed elections
maps out the future; it determines whether some alternatives
are made more difficult to take up in the future.

ELECTORATE TALK
Although the presentation of this year's Federal Budget is still
five months away, the Government has already begun to tackle the job.
One of the central issues again facing the Government in the
framJJ-ng of the Budget will be the level of Government spending.
Clearly, as we continue our fight against inflation, it will be
