 Don Chipp died believing the bastards had won
The saddest thing about Don Chipp's death is that he passed away a disillusioned man. The idealistic politician who founded the Australian Democrats to "keep the bastards honest" concluded that the bastards had won.
Chipp wrote the book, he said, to emphasise "the danger in which ordinary Australians placed themselves and their children by believing lies and following the dictates of bullies".
She wanted a major involvement in national policy-making, and rejected Chipp’s argument that it was "not appropriate for a minority party to impact its policies on the whole parliament".

 PWHCE: Discord in the Australian Democrats
The eloquence of Chipp's speech (in which he criticised both the Whitlam and Fraser governments) and the publicity that it generated was such that the momentum was created with which Chipp could facilitate the establishment of a new, avowedly centrist political party.
Chipp claimed that the Australian Democrats differed from the major political parties in that the latter were beholden to external interests, such as trade unions and big business.
Nonetheless, I admire Chipp's personal integrity and acknowledge the positive tradition that he bequeathed to the Australian Democrats in terms of its respect for parliamentary processes and the role that this party has played in enhancing the Senate's function as a house of review.
