ELECTORATE TALK
( The weekly Prime Ministerial electorate talk is today given
by the Minister for Employment and Youth Affairs, Mr Neil Brown).
I wish to talk to you today about the positive action that is
being taken by the Government to help young people. Let me say
at the outset and there should be no doubt about this
that the Government is committed to increasing education,
training and work experience opportunities for the young.

I am greatly saddened by the death of Sir Robert Askin.

He was a man of determination, integrity and compassion. Sir Robert Askin knew when to be tough in times of adversity, yet this strength was tempered with a deep understanding of the human condition.

Sir Robert was a politician with few peers. He became Premier of New South Wales in 1965, ending 24 years of Labor administration. With Sir Robert as leader, the Liberal Party in New South Wales did not lose an election.
