Communism and Inflation at Manilla Meeting
Mr Drummond W H R Liberal candidate in New England warned that communism damages Australia’s economy through strikes and union influence. He cited coal, steel, shipping, and transport as communists’ grip and urged passage of a bill to allow secret ballots and worker choice on strikes to curb inflation and boost production. The Manilla address linked these issues to the 1940s political context and the upcoming April 26 election.
