Comment: The Federal Elections

Abstract

The sweeping Liberal-Country Party victory is at once setback, threat and challenge to the Australian labor and democratic movement. The massive government majority, a Liberal Party with nearly half the seats, and increased strength for the Liberal extreme right, will threaten suppression of all opposition and even more extremist foreign policies. But any attempt along these line will create a powerful counter-movement.
