Prime Ministers of Australia
A tribute to the office of the Prime Minister of Australia. This is not a politically partisan video, rather a look at some of the men and woman who have held the nation's highest political office and shaped our country's destiny.
Stanley Bruce.
Bruce became involved in recruiting campaigns for the Army. His public speaking attracted the attention of the Nationalist Party, and in 1918 he was elected to the House of Representatives as MP for Flinders, near Melbourne. His background in business led to his being appointed Treasurer (finance minister) in 1921.
Bruce was chosen as Hughes's successor.
In general Bruce formed an effective partnership with Page, and exploited public fears of Communism and militant trade unions to dominate Australian politics through the 1920s.He won a smashing victory over a demoralised ALP, led by Matthew Charlton, at the 1925 election. Throughout his term of office, he pursued a policy of support for the British Empire, the League of Nations, and the White Australia Policy
We intend to keep this country white and not allow its peoples to be faced with the problems that at present are practically insoluble in many parts of the world

John Curtin, Australian hero
John Curtin was the Prime Minister of Australia during our nation's darkest hours in the Second World War.
He put the needs of Australia before those of Europe, and brought our troops home to defend our country against the Japanese onslaught.
His work to protect the future of the Australian people put such an enormous physical toll upon him that he died in office, just a few months before the war ended.
He will never be forgotten.
Rest In Peace
John Joseph Curtin
8 January 1885 - 5 July 1945

On This Day 68 Years Ago
Upon the 3rd. September....
This is of course to historians remains one of the most important days of modern times.
It was many years ago that I first heard this address from Mr. Chamberlain & even as I was editing this historical piece of audio history I felt sadness for a fine man who tried to do what he thought was right, a fellow who thought appeasement was the best course of action to take with Herr Hitler, a good man was broken by this speech in my opinion, one can tell by the inflections in his voice. Mr. Chamberlain passed away in November the following year.
Also in this audio Australia's longest serving Prime Minister announces to the nation in a somewhat more vigorous & confident manner, his & others support at the geneses of The Second World War.
Mr. Menzies was PM for a total of over eighteen years.
Hope some find these recordings interesting. After all we can only rely on the past & the present to take our lead from into the future.
Curtin (Part 1/8)
1941. A country in crisis. A new man in power. Leadership demands and personal demons are set to collide. The story of John Curtin as he faces his first six months as Prime Minister, confronting in quick succession, the tragedy of Pearl Harbour, the fall of Singapore, the bombing of Darwin and a furious battle with Churchill over the deployment of Australian troops. This is a raw and intimate story of a driven and inspirational leader - a man who struggles to battle his own personal demons while serving and protecting a country at war. Starring William McInnes and Noni Hazlehurst.

The Chifleys of Busby Street: A Community Remembers Trailer
Ben Chifley (1885 -- 1951) was a railway engine-driver who became Australia's best-loved Prime Minister in 1945. He was a politician who lived by principles of compassion and concern for his fellow Australians. His philosophy and example have never been more relevant than in the political arena of today. As Prime Minister and Treasurer, he had a profound effect on the path of Australian history following World War Two, and many advantages enjoyed in our society that we take for granted today are the product of his vision.
This film is an exercise in People's History: an attempt to find and share the communal memory of Ben and his wife, Elizabeth, that lives on in their hometown of Bathurst, New South Wales. Chifley's extraordinary compassion and idealism are still treasured 50 years after his death. In Bathurst, stories about the Chifleys are treasured memories, valued almost as family heirlooms to be passed on from generation to generation. Simple, everyday artefacts - a tea cosy or an old pipe - can carry a special meaning. Similarly, places which seem ordinary but are associated with the Chifleys, such as their simple terrace home on Busby Street or the railway community meeting hall where Ben studied and taught, have strong meaning. In this film, the stories and memories of over 50 friends, neighbours and colleagues contribute to an emotional and eloquent portrait of a remarkable community and a national leader.
It's not often a film makes me happy, proud and sad all at once... It's a film for the heart and the head ... charming and challenging at the same time. -- Phillip Adams, author and broadcaster.
