  John Curtin's World And Ours - John Curtin Memorial Lecture, by Paul Keating [July 5, 2002]
This is the text of the John Curtin Memorial Lecture delivered by the former Prime Minister, Paul Keating, on the 57th anniversary of the death of Australia's war-time leader.
Curtin was, I believe, correct in calling the return of Australia’s Eighth Division ‘Australia’s Dunkirk’ and in saying that the ‘fall of Singapore opens the battle for Australia’.
Curtin, thinking of Australia as a continent and all of those within it as one nation, believed we should have a national economy, with a national income tax and a central bank.

 ARPA: Curtin's gift to the nation
Curtin was not a reluctant prime minister, Edwards insists, and as Leader of the Opposition at the outbreak of the Second World War his repeated rejection of invitations to join a national government indicated not timidity but ambition—he would hold office as Labor prime minister or not at all.
Curtin’s support for the White Australia Policy is well known, and the further observation that it was as much an economic as a racial doctrine falls short of its full import.
Curtin was formed in the socialist fellowship of this group and he read poetry, fiction and history as well as political economy.

Curtin's greatness has been overshadowed by the magnitude of the events in which he played so crucial a part.
The war itself, not Curtin's leadership, is the entrenched folk memory of the epoch; Churchill, Roosevelt and Macarthur, not Curtin, are its remembered heroes, even in Australia.
