Summary
This transcript of Parliamentary Debates is a treasure trove of quotes and rebuttals. The political rhetoric is captivating as Menzies argues for a future we now know he succeeded in achieving after his win in the 1949 election. In the pages displayed Menzies argues for a fuller contribution to national defence, tax reduction and increasing production. He references clashes between him and Labor Party members calling attention to accusations of bribery and the appropriation of liberal ideas for policy change. The Labor Party members mentioned include Minister Jack Holloway and Prime Minister Ben Chifley.
