	Parliament of Australia: House of Representatives:
		Arthur Calwell is to be commended for having the courage to make a bold and far-reaching decision without fear of public opinion.
		Calwell is predominantly a blue-collar constituency that continues to receive an unfair distribution of wealth and does not fully share in Australia's economic prosperity.
		A substantial portion of my electorate of Calwell is made of young families who are the children and grandchildren of first generation migrants—people who have come here or who were born here and who have managed to get an education, learn a trade or profession or maybe start their own business.

	ALOR - OnTarget Vol.4 - No.2
		Calwell falsifies history by stating that, "The Vietnam war began as a civil war when the National Liberation Front was formed to oppose the corrupt Diem regime." Mr.
		Calwell has apparently not heard of the irrefutable evidence provided by the Communists themselves, that when the Diem regime refused to collapse, as was confidently anticipated, it was formally agreed in Hanoi that a campaign of revolution and terror had to be unleashed against South Vietnam.
		Calwell has strongly supported Socialist Harold Wilson's speeding up of withdrawing British forces from South-East Asia and taken the opportunity of reminding Australians that he was opposed to Australian support for the British in Malaya in the past.

		But Calwell certainly got his wish a few months after our conversation when the new Liberal PM, Harold Holt, won a landslide victory – a result that led directly to Calwell’s defeat as ALP leader at the hands of the young Gough Whitlam.
		I was reminded of Calwell’s words when Joan Sheldon rang me a few days after the Queensland election to say she was about to step down as the state’s Liberal Party leader.
		Having followed the three-week campaign closely, this news came as somewhat of a surprise – not the fact that she was thinking of quitting, but that she was the Liberal leader.

		Evatt's successor as leader from 1960 to 1967, Arthur Calwell, inherited a severely damaged party, dominated by the left-wing unions and was unable - and did not try very hard - to restore his party's electoral credibility, though to his credit he got it looking a bit better.
		One of the less publicly understood reasons was that Calwell, although alternative prime minister, was virtually a prisoner of the left-wing unions at the Melbourne Trades Hall, which controlled his endorsement as an ALP parliamentary candidate.
		Arthur Calwell, Evatt's successor, tried to do it by charm, of which his supply was erratic.

	Recollections of the struggle against the Vietnam War
		It's worth recording the fact that the courageous and early opposition of the Labor federal opposition leader, Arthur Calwell, to conscription and the dispatch of Australian troops to Vietnam was the major initial factor that made it possible to build a mass movement of opposition to conscription and to the war in Vietnam.
		The fact that Calwell, in the position of ALP parliamentary leader, opposed conscription and the dispatch of the Australian troops, enabled us to reach a far broader audience than we could ever have achieved without Calwell's bold stand on the question.
		The battles of those days are reflected, for instance, in the rather venomous attitude adopted towards Arthur Calwell by Tom Uren in his autobiography.

		Sir Robert Menzies, in his tribute, has perceived that only somebody with Arthur Calwell’s credit and credentials in the Labor movement of that time could have carried this out.
		The tributes to Arthur Calwell have also emphasised the three commanding influences and attachments in his life—his country, his Party, his church.
		Our late colleague would not, I think, have resented the comparison or resisted the conclusions we may draw about the causes of the failures as well as the triumphs of his long and remarkable career, the flaws as well as the great qualities of this remarkable Australian.
