In The End, Rational Policy Is Always

Australia Without The Irish Would Be Unthinkable... Unimaginable... Unspeakable.

The Lesson Of The Federation Should Be That The Lesson Is Over. Australia Must Have A New Idea Of Itself. We Have To Strike Out In A New Direction, In A New Way, Armed With Our Own Self-regard, Our Own Confidence And Fully Appreciating Our Own Uniqueness. All Other Roads Will Lead Us Into The Shadow Of Great Powers.

No Choice We Can Make As A Nation Lies Between Our History And Our Geography. We Can Hardly Change Either Of Them. They Are Immutable. The Only Choice We Can Make As A Nation Is The Choice About Our Future.

The Labor Party Is A Party Of Conviction. The Liberal Party Is A Party Of Convenience.

In The End, Rational Policy Is Always Good.
