Canberra Today: Ministers face post election realities
The new Liberal and Country ministers, wary of Labor's administration, begin adjusting to a changed Canberra. External Affairs head Percy Spender moves toward recognizing the United States of Indonesia while Deputy Prime Minister Artie Fadden seeks patience on petrol rationing. Ken Chifley looms as a persistent Canberra topic as ministers test-reforms amid departmental inertia. Percy Clarey, former ACTU president, is poised to enter Parliament and could vie for leadership in 1952 if conditions favor Labor’s return to power.
