SUMMARY:The Final Chapter: Purpose\, Endurance\, and Legacy 1961-66 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The period from 1961-66 was the final phase of the Menzies era\, yet in some respects it was the most remarkable. \n \nAfter a near defeat at the 1961 election\, Menzies held a razor thin majority and many assumed that he would ride off into the political sunset. \nHowever\, if anything the near miss reinvigorated him\, spurring a new wave of policy innovation in the introduction of State Aid for independent schools\, major investments in science education and the space race\, and laying the groundwork for the decimal currency. \nOn the geopolitical front\, it was a time of heightened danger in which a full-scale war with Indonesia loomed as a very real possibility\, prompting a major overhaul of the Australian Defence Force and a controversial commitment to Vietnam. \nPapers to be presented include: \nMichael de Percy\, From the bottom of the sea to the moon: Menzies and Australia’s communications golden age \nLucas McLennan\, Australian anti-Communist organisations in the Vietnam War debate \nAndrew Carr & Peter Dean\, The ADF Menzies Built \nTom Lewis\, The Menzies defence legacy: wise\, brave\, and enduring \nDamien Freeman & Dean Smith\, Recommending an Appointment to the Sovereign \n\nDownload the flyer here: \nTo register or for more information click here:
