As a child of the Menzies era, I am pleased at how much Australia has got away from many of the prejudices and paternalism of the 1960s, but there is still much to be done.

Sadly, the 'cancer' of Pig Iron Bob Menzies is still well and truly alive and kicking in the LNP.
Pig Iron Bob, imo and understanding, IS the Demi-God of the Liberal-National Party and always will remain so.
I know and understand where you are coming from since I too was born, bred and raised in that era, I'm '53er myself, grew up in a town were the Labour Party, the Unions and the Workers ALL stood shoulder to shoulder and everyone got a fair shake and a fair go.
Greetings.
Honourable Group Leader @Triphid I just make the point that it would be good if there more posts from this group, if it were active from a wider group. I know this depends on members, and you yourself are very attentive to the group, as is @powder, and my own posts wax and wane with my own pissed off level with stuff in Australia, but i just make this general point.
