4.9/5 (30666 ratings)

Description:"No Treasurer, and indeed no Prime Minister, so profoundly affected the domestic life and future history of our country," wrote the great newspaperman, Sir Keith Murdoch. "He was a great Australian idealist, an able and kindly man, serene, severe but sincere. So far as Australia is a 'welfare state', Mr. Chifley is responsible." Yet the successful political leader in Chifley never obscured the man. "He had in abundance," said R. G. Menzies, "those human qualities of easy informality, of deep conviction, of quiet humour and of engaging frankness which made him, in the old phrase, a man's man."Within his own camp his greatness as leader and man was fully recognized: "The most valuable man on either side of the House: no man has done more to make the war-effort go." (John Curtin.) "We honoured and loved the man and we shall always treasure the memory at once of what he did and what he was." (H. V. Evatt.) "Every member of his Party looked to him as father, brother and mate, all at one time." (N. E. McKenna.)Here his career as union leader, loyal Bathurstian, Parliamentarian, Party Leader, bank reformer, Treasurer, Prime Minister and British Commonwealth statesman is unfolded from the authoritative records of his union, of the Labour Party, of the Scullin, Curtin and Chifley Cabinets, from his papers in the Commonwealth Archives, from the memories and letters of his trade union, Labour Party and ministerial colleagues, to all of which generous access was granted.Prof. L. F. Crisp served Chifley as public servant or A.L.P. member from 1942 to 1951, and had regular opportunities to watch him at work in Parliament, in Cabinet committees, in Party conferences, in the everyday business of government, and to share some of his moments of relaxation and reminiscence. He now holds a Chair of Political Science in the Australian National University at Canberra.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
