serves to remind us of the damage that is caused when
unreasonableness and division are allowed to take first place in
human affairs.

ADDRESS TO SYDNEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

Organisations such as the Sydney Chamber of Commerce with

the Government's economic approach and also take a look at
some wider aspects of the market economy and the free society.
