Her Excellency Soong Ching-Ling
Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress,
Peking

I wish to express my own deep sympathy and that of the Australian people to the Chinese people for the great loss which they have suffered in the passing of Chairman Mao Tse-Tung. I know that each member of the Chinese nation feels today as a family feels on the loss of its eldest and most respected member a sense of irreparable personal loss.

 An outstanding figure in world history has passed from the scene with the death of Chairman Mao Tse-tung.

Chairman Mao was the architect and inspiration for the rebuilding of the world's most populous nation after the ravages of invasion and war.

Australians will understand and share the sorrow felt in China at his passing.

On behalf of the Government and the people of Australia I extend& our deepest sympathy and our regret at the loss of their national leader.

ELECTORAL TALK
Last week the Australian Labor Party's leader presented
his formal alternative to the Government's Budget. One
central fact emerged from his statement. And that is that
he has not learnt or understood that before anything else
inflation must be controlled.
He has not been able to understand that in present circumstances
inflation and unemployment and inextricable linked.

BUDGET DEBATE
The Leader of the Opposition delivered the Labor Party's
response to the Budget on Tuesday. His speech displayed
the same frame of mind, the same disregard for reality that so
damaged Australia during Labor's three years of government.
As most economic commentators have said, he is living in the
past. I regret to say that he was not in top form.
I regret to. say it because he has told everyone that he
gets " terribly distressed" when people say he is not.
