In an earlier broadcast, I disposed of the campaign

whispering, about my alleged imminent retirement from office
after the election.
But Mr. Calwell's tactics do not end there,
Clearly in a straight-out conflict of policies, having

In my Policy Speech I announced, amongst other Government Proposals, a decision to give a subsidy to young people under the age of 35 of £1 for every £3 saved towards home building or purchase.

Federal Election, 1963

Policy Speech of the Prime Minister (the Right Hon.Sir Robert Menzies, K.T., C.H., Q.C., M.P.), delivered in Melbourne on November 12, 1963.

FULL TEXT OF THE SPEECH

The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies, will record his policy speech for television and radio at GTV Channel 9 studios tonight.

Pre-recording will, for the first time in Australian political history, permit voters simultaneously throughout Australia to see or hear a leader delivering his party's policy. It will be the first Australian-wide TV programme of any kind.

Archbishop Mannix, as I met him and knew him, was a most remarkable man. He had great intellectual power, marked courage, and a power of persuasive speech which I have never known surpassed. He had become a dignified and almost legendary figure, not only in his own community, but among the people generally.

He will be greatly missed, and his memory will be deeply respected.
