Robert Menzies 1894-1978

 



Sir Robert Gordon Menzies was the Prime Minister of Australia. Twice.

First from 1939 to 1941, then from 1949 to 1966.

 

In 1920, Menzies married Pattie Maie Leckie, who was born in 1899. Dame Pattie Maie Menzies died in 1995 at Canberra.

 

During 1942, Robert Menzies delivered weekly radio broadcast essays that were named after one of its speeches, The Forgotten People, which was broadcast on May 22, 1942.

Menzies said that these broadcasts

" have represented a serious attempt to clarify my own mind and assist listeners on questions which emerge in the changing currents of war.

"In a sense, within the acute limits of time and space, they represent a summarized political philosophy to which many thousands have been interested enough to listen and which hundreds of listeners-in have asked me to publish."
 

And here you can read the transcript of the February 20 broadcast, Women in War.

 

New York Times Magazine published some of Menzies' writings. On this site, and by way of exception, they are listed under speeches. Here you can read  Politics as an Art, from November 28, 1948, and The English Tradition from July 10, 1949.

 

In honor of William Queale, the Australian Institute of Management named a library and an annual lecture after him.

On October 22, 1954, Robert Menzies delivered his Democracy and Management speech at Adelaide. This speech is also called the The First William Queale Memorial Lecture.

William Queale, born in 1889, became National President of the Australian Institute of Management on December 12, 1951. On December 25, 1951, Queale died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
