The inspiring vision of the Australian Labor Party in their successful campaign for the Australian Federal election of 2 December 1972 (from the campaign speech of Gough Whitlam, leader of the ALP):

Our program has three great aims. They are:
– to promote equality
– to involve the people of Australia in the decision-making processes of our land
– and to liberate the talents and uplift the horizons of the Australian people.

We want to give a new life and a new meaning in this new nation to the touchstone of modern democracy – to liberty, equality, fraternity.”
