Transcript of the commentary

Truly, no man in the history of this great Commonwealth is more worthy of your cooperation! Never before has any government achieved so much in so little time against such amazing odds! Hear then his message:

'On August 21st you will vote. Yours is the responsibility to decide what the government of Australia shall be like. You may go back to the parties that have failed you, but I ask you to stand to the party that has done so much to preserve Australia. This is a free country. My government has worked to keep it free. I ask you to return again to power the government that has stood for Australia and for its future.'

['Advance Australia fair']
