'A once in a generation opportunity squandered. '
When Menzies was elected in 1948, he had all the war industries to play with. Since that time, most Australian governments have been conservative. Now we no longer manufacture . Our economy is based upon tourism, money from immigrants, educating foreign students and farm production. Our balance of payments is never discussed by our government.
