The Menzies speech is as follows. "The country has great and imperative obligations to the weak, the sick, the unfortunate. It must give all the sustenance and support it can.
We look forward to social and unemployment insurances, to improved health services, to a wiser control of our economy to avert, if possible, all booms and slumps, which tend to convert labour into a commodity, to a better distribution of wealth, to a keener sense of social justice and social responsibility.
We not only look forward to these things; we shall demand and obtain them. To every good citizen the State owes not only a good chance in life, but a self-respecting life"
This was from Menzies, you would have thought the Labor Party had written this speech. It certainly shows how far the Liberals have wavered in the principles of the Liberal movement.
