[UMA-SRE-20050072] ELECTORATE TALKS AND PRESS RELEASES

Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20050072Extent2 boxesLinear Meterage0.46Scope and ContentElectorate talks and press releases. This series comprises drafts and final versions of electorate talks (transcripts of radio broadcasts) and press releases prepared for J M (Malcolm) Fraser as Member for Wannon (Victoria). The series dates from 1971 to early 1983, although there are no records for the period from October 1985 to April 1981 inclusive. The earlier electorate talks (to 1973) were broadcast on local radio stations 3HA (Hamilton), 3YB (Warrnambool) and 3LK (Western Victoria) in a series 'Our Australia'. Occasionally prefaced with the phrase 'This is Malcolm Fraser in Canberra', the transcripts were distributed to Liberal Party branches and local newspapers in Mr Fraser's electorate. The talks cover matters both specific to the Western District (e.g. postal and telephone services) and of wider public interest (e.g. CSIRO, education, wool industry, rural reconstruction). The radio broadcasts for 1974-87 focus increasingly on issues associated with the Whitlam Labor Government, and include talks on Senator Lionel Murphy and the 1975 budget.
