-SPEECH BY PBH£3 MINISTER  

12th July 960 BENDIGO  

House of Reps. By-Election  

■ 'I SPEECH-By THE PRIME MINISTER. M3 ETt HCH«  

R«G. MENZIEC. C.H.. l.C." M.P. AT BENDIGO ON TUESDAY, TIB  

2TH JULY. -I960  

Sir, Senator, candidate and ladies and gentlemen:  

always know that there is an election on when come  

here 'because they always send me here. Sometimes see the same  

faces; and sometimes don’t. But tonight am delighted te find  

what, in my experience, must he record attendance, supporting  

record candidate. (Applause)  

Some of those who have heen listening in tonight will have  

heard him for few minutes at the end of his speech. am sorry  

that they couldn’t have heard him longer, hecmse think that  

anybody who sees him, hears him and, as you do, knows him and his  

work and his quality, must agree that Bendigo has an opportunity  

of the first quality in this hy-election.  

am of course very sorry, personally, that there is  

hy-election, because it is hy-election that has been brought about  

by the death of political opponent who was almost lifelong  

personal friend of mine Percy Cl' rey: man knew very well in  

what might call my ”respectable” days when practised in the  

vicinity of the Arbitration Court, mostly for the Unions (Laughter).  

And from that time on knew Percy Clnrey and admired him very  

much. He was man of character and quality and know that great  

 

number of people in the Bendigo Electorate came to have such regard  

for him that they may have voted for him though that would not  

normally represent their political view.  

ball he has gone, alas. He is great loss to his Party  

 

and great loss to his friends. But now you must fill the vacancy.  

 

Your choice is not between somebody new and the memory of somebody  

who has gone. Your choice is between the candidates whose names  

will be on the ballot paper on tur day. And. am bound to say  

that if either of the other candidates is within coo-ee *of this one,  

 

you must be the richest electorate in the whole of the Commonwealth  

of Australi··  

 

know that my genial and unpredictable friend, Arthur  

Calwell, (Laughter) spends -> great number of .'his waking hours working  

out rather sharp little observations wrorth headline picturesque
