...persuasion...the creation in the mind of the listener
I lay blame on myself that I did not get up yesterday and examine the witnesses, but I thought that if I did so it would look like bravado and brashness.
...a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
Well might he say "God save the Queen"; because nothing will save the Governor General. The proclamation you have just heard was counter-signed "Malcolm Fraser"--who will go down in history as "Kerr's Cur".
A public who listens and speaks out--a root of democracy.
We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other and fight to defend our rights and liberties.
...the land is our mother.
We fight with what we have and what we have is our all. We fight for the same free institutions that you enjoy. We fight so that, in the words of Lincoln, "government of the people, for the people, by the people, shall not perish from the earth".
Sexism should always be unacceptable.
...we should show Lalor's resolution to reform the law to meet the requirements of our new, diverse, more interesting and multi-cultural community.
