Although this new era had brought both economic and political stability, Australians continued to live feeling vulnerable and fearful.1 From 1949-1966, Robert Menzies lead Australia through the post-war era as his second term as Prime Minister and became the longest-serving Prime Minister in Australian history2 as the leader of the conservative Liberal Party. During Menzies' second term he held strong priority on eliminating the communist influence in the union movement and believed that this goal could only be achieved by abolishing the Communist Party.

  • Advantages And Disadvantages Of Liberal Democracy

    996 Words  | 4 Pages

Australia and New Zealand followed not long after as they began to use the secret ballot system to elect political leaders.
