Would he support such a demonstration by a protest movement or a moratorium if one were to be organised in Australia, or does he agree with the delegate at the Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution who said: ‘Subversive elements plan to make American children live in an environment that is good for them’?

As to the second point raised by the honourable gentleman, that is, that three countries, Pakistan, India and Indonesia, because of the green revolution that has occurred in those countries, no longer have any necessity for wheat, I point out to him that not only have they a necessity for it, but they are importing it now because they need it in order to feed their hungry millions. [More…]
One of the main reasons for the declining world wheat trade - from 2,300 million bushels in 1955-56 to 1,700 million bushels in 1968-69 and possible further decline to 1,500 million bushels in 1969-70 - was the remarkable success of the ‘green revolution’ in many food deficient countries, such as India and Pakistan. [More…]
We have seen vastly reduced aid requirements in India, and Pakistan has developed from an importer of wheat to an exporter as a result of the green revolution that has taken place there. [More…]
The Minister for Trade and Industry (Mr McEwen) announced 3 years ago that containerisation was to bring about a revolution in shipping, resulting in cheaper freights and cost-free feeder services from outports, but one of the major ports in Western Australia is still waiting for some definite word from this Government as to what containerisation is going to mean to it. [More…]
I believe he said ‘On with the revolution’. [More…]
The change in technology and in the character of shipping that is necessarily part and parcel of the transport revolution which we see about us will obviously bring about changes in docking requirements. [More…]
According to Mr Serong the revolution in Cambodia has given the Americans and the Thieu Government an undreamed of opportunity to end the war in 6 months. [More…]

Indeed, Lenin wrote to a young enthusiast from Glasgow who suggested that good revolutionaries should have nothing to do with such reactionary things as parliaments. [More…]
And what a paradise it proved to be on the Communist’s own documentation, because this man soon emerged - not as the benign Uncle Ho, the father of the Vietnamese revolution, but as the hard line MaoistMarxist - to impose on the North the kind of conditions that he had seen taking place in the Chinese revolution. [More…]

The truth is that there has been a complete and repeated vindication of the basic truth of all that my colleagues and I said there only 4 short months ago on the eve of the revolution which has now been set in train. [More…]
It is strangely reminiscent of the circumstances that have occurred in Paris time and time again during the course of France’s history, when one republic has been overthrown by revolution and replaced by another. [More…]
The citizens of Paris occupied the streets to change their government by revolution. [More…]
Honourable members opposite have said at times that it is hoped that the demonstrations will be non-violent, that they will be peaceful, but then with a typical cry of revolutionaries they have laid the groundwork for a violent demonstration by saying that if there is violence it will be as a result of police intimidation. [More…]
During a reactionary war a revolutionary class cannot but desire the defeat of its government . [More…]
Wartime revolutionary action against one’s own government indubitably means not only desiring its defeat but really facilitating such a defeat. [More…]
An understanding of a revolutionary action even in a single country, to say nothing of a number of countries, can be achieved only by the force of the example of serious revolutionary action, by launching such action and developing it. [More…]

Many commentators have referred to what is going on nowadays as the second industrial revolution. [More…]
Anyone wilh any knowledge of history will know about the horrors of the first industrial revolution and how human beings were depersonalised into what were called ‘factors of production’. [More…]
It was the degradation of humanity as a result of the first industrial revolution under early capitalism that gave rise to the flowering of Socialist thinking throughout Western Europe and caused the rise of the great Socialist movements in Western Europe in the 19th century. [More…]
I think it is no accident that in this second industrial revolution there is an increasing advocacy of greater participation in management and control of industry by the workers and by the community. [More…]
the land is bad enough now even with the use of phosphate and subterranean clover, so one can only imagine how bad it was when the producers relied on native pastures in the sandy, light texured country before the pasture revolution came in. [More…]
With the siratro and setaria pastures there is a revolution going on in some of these areas which previously were pronounced marginal dairy farms and which will remain marginal dairy farms until we can get some semblance of sanity in the Queensland Government by its accepting positive and sound schemes like these. [More…]
Mr Deputy Speaker, I think it is most important too for us to be aware of, and to assess the effect of, the so-called ‘Green Revolution’ in Asia. [More…]
As the honourable member for Warringah so rightly said today, we have seen the green revolution in South East Asia. [More…]
The retailing revolution has mechanised this type of packaging. [More…]
This is the revolution in retailing which has made a great difference to farmers. [More…]
That was the start of the prepackaging revolution and this is what has happened with dairy products. [More…]
There is a revolution in this. [More…]
But the important point is that free trade economics went out with the industrial revolution. [More…]
Another feature which concerns the Opposition is the revolution (hat has taken place in the carriage of freight. [More…]

I would not mind sitting as they did in the days of the French Revolution, when the Legislative Assembly was in constant session. [More…]
It would be, perhaps, almost a revolution in the procedures of this Parliament. [More…]
A Bill such as the Broadcasting and Television Bill carries overtones which reflect the importance of this tremendous field of modern mass communications - a field in which a revolution is only beginning to be felt in Australia. [More…]
As we look ahead from those days to the days of the pocket size transistor and tomorrow to colour television in Australia, to pocket television, to very mobile telecommunications in the keeping of the individual, it is undoubtedly true that a tremendous revolution in this whole field is only beginning. [More…]
As one looks at the field one must .be aware that this revolution means that a completely different base to society is beginning to develop - that there are new powers for the manipulation of society; that there is a sophistication in terms of the presentation of material over the media which has to be scrutinised and understood not only by governments, educators and those who seek to benefit financially or commercially from these things but primarily by the great mass of people who are so often the victims of mass communications. [More…]
It is up to every member to take part in a revolution, to vote some sanity and sense into our Standing Orders when the Standing Orders [More…]
Then there is the problem of what is known as the green revolution which has swept over Europe and America, and is now sweeping over Asia, where new types of crops, particularly wheat and rice, have increased tremendously the yield potential. [More…]
The green revolution does therefore have a potential backlash and it may be that this will call on Australian farmers once again to start feeding the hungry East. [More…]

He publicly endorses and recommends revolution in the streets. [More…]

Since 1963 commercial television has spent over $100m on the Channel 7 revolution. [More…]
As Lance Peters said, this makes it more expensive than the Russian revolution and probably less desirable. [More…]

The present regime in China possesses a fanatical conviction in some sort of dream world Communist Utopia where all nations achieve the purity of Maoist thoughts by internal revolution. [More…]
It believes in the concept of ultimate Communist world domination through local wars of national liberation achieved through a condition of world revolution and the acts of violence committed at Moratorium demonstrations, university sit-ins, etc, to which I have been personally subjected and which arc the local manifestation of Maoism in action. [More…]
Like the Chinese, the Soviets believe in the doctrine of permanent world revolution, but unlike the Chinese, the Soviets are committed to a traditional policy of Russian colonialism which makes the former great colonial powers look positively benign. [More…]
While covertly observing the doctrine of permanent world revolution, the Soviet also overtly pursues one of ‘peaceful coexistence’ so that we see her piously coexisting with the United States and other western powers and. [More…]
Now the Malaysian Government - which, incidentally, is a Government similar in idealogy to this Government; it is a Conservative tory Government - has now conducted a revolution in foreign policy. [More…]

A great revolution has taken place in social work. [More…]
The evidence is now conclusive that living standards in these countries will not rise significantly unless there are political and national changes there that amount, in fact, to a national revolution. [More…]
The Rural Reconstruction Board in the State of New South Wales has brought about a revolution in the countryside, where it has been needed. [More…]
It has been a revolution of reorganisation and of restructuring - all of the modern terms - but in fact the Board brought about such changes as were revolutionary and were successful. [More…]
When she won the seat in 1946, it was almost a revolution. [More…]
We are to carry out a revolution in the Australian National University. [More…]
This psychology flows like electric current into a motor, causing a faster and faster rate of revolution of the inflationary spiral. [More…]

Bishop Crowther said that he could see no alternative to violent revolution in South Africa. [More…]
History has shown - from the industrial revolution onwards - that workers have to strive to get increased wages and increased compensation when their standard of living is reduced. [More…]
On the contrary, the position quite obviously is that in mainland China for quite normal commercial reasons there have been a number of circumstances which have certainly reduced that country’s need to buy wheat this year, lt is true that the green revolution is not confined to India, Pakistan or the other countries of South East Asia. [More…]
The green revolution has meant that through the use of fertilisers and the use of rapidly growing and high yielding Mexican wheats there is a very substantial increase in production in a great part of Asia, and China has not, of course, been outside that. [More…]
He said that the decline and final termination of sales of wheat to China are caused by objective conditions, such as the green revolution - increased production in China - and so on. [More…]
Much of the youth revolutionary talk of our times is the old Marxist hat, much tattered and worn at a new angle. [More…]
Today’s new factor is the emphasis on direct physical confrontation with the authorities and especially with the universities where urban geurilla warfare is used in the struggle to bring on the so-called revolution. [More…]
People get involved in protests and demonstrations for many reasons, but it is undeniable that there is a very small group of people who use protests and demonstrations not to protest about conscription or Vietnam or education but to build up the revolutionary movement. [More…]
I have heard the continual cry of riot, revolution, danger and sedition which has been going on for those 15 years and for 6 or 7 years before that, since the election of a Liberal-Country Party Government. [More…]
What is also clear is that the Australian Government has learnt nothing from the automotive revolution that is occurring in the rest of the world, particularly the United States. [More…]
They want to use those people who cling to the banner of their Party and whose ultimate aim is revolution. [More…]
But in other areas, including neighbouring countries, the Chinese leaders are continuing their support for armed revolution and insurgency, and this support is material as weir as ideological. [More…]
But during the cultural revolution and for some time afterwards it is well known that continental China virtually cut herself off from the rest of the world. [More…]
For example, China often had to choose between supporting the existing government of a country or revolutionary forces within the same country. [More…]

Until that aim is achieved the revolution In education will proceed very slowly. [More…]
At present on the notice paper we have the greatest list of executions since the French Revolution - 17 guillotines in one motion, an amazing proposition for any democratic Parliament. [More…]
Most people associate a guillotine with a revolution, but there is nothing revolutionary in the mind of the Government - nothing at ali! [More…]
As a matter of fact, the guillotine of the French Revolution could not possibly have been as ridiculous and as sharp as the one being used by this Government. [More…]
I have said in this House before that, whatever we feel about what is called the revolution of youth, I believe that there will be a revolution of aged people in the years ahead. [More…]
Later he bought a little ‘Red Book’ to read for himself and to study for the next peace conference - such philosophies as ‘War is the continuation of politics … by other means’; ‘the seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution’. [More…]
The scare diplomacy of China in the 1960s was expressed by Premier Chou En-lai in 1961 when he said that Africa was ripe for revolution. [More…]
This concern is now being replaced by the long term diplomacy of a more settled China; of cooperation with friendly governments, irrespective of ideology, lt is apparent therefore that this scare diplomacy which emanated from China during the middle 1960s and in particular at the time of the cultural revolution is changing, which is not surprising because the cultural revolution was the greatest disaster China has faced, lt is my contention that China has a vital interest in ensuring that the Russians do not gain a dominant presence in the Indian Ocean and this is primarily the motivating factor in her relationships and the seeking of a detente as it would be with the Western world. [More…]
Opposition understood somewhat more what he was talking about, because to define our country into 3 geographical areas of that kind totally ignores the functional integration between city centres and suburban areas - the whole process of urbanism and urban living which is now world wide, begun in a thorough going modern way in the 19th century with the industrial revolution in Britain and has now spread to this country almost as much as to any other. [More…]
China has recovered from the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. [More…]

There would be a revolution in the Australian Country Party. [More…]
1 think that this is the basic question to which we must address ourselves and when we arc addressing ourselves to it let us look at some contemporary and relevant facts, one of which is that in this country - thank goodness - we are passing through a salutary social revolution in the field of education. [More…]
Coupled with this pasture revolution through the use of superphosphates, there is tremendous potential for increased development of the cattle industry. [More…]
Yet the Australian Labor Party exhibits a slavish regard for those international manipulators who will prosper from anarchy and from revolution. [More…]
An end to the principle that the US alliance is crucial, and a beginning of support for the “human rights’ revolution around the world most often expressed in the national liberation movements. [More…]
If Mrs Sydney or Mrs Melbourne had to make a trunk call to contact the corner store there would be a revolution in Sydney and Melbourne, and probably very rightly so in this day and age. [More…]

If they do not, the people will leave the industry anyway because there has been a dramatic revolution in the European countryside in terms of the way of life. [More…]
Industries Development Association bulletin - is that we are living in a period of technological change, and one of the tragedies is that we are still training people to do jobs that are not wanted and we are not training people to do jobs that the technological revolution demands. [More…]
The trouble with ali this planning is that it fails to dovetail trends in various sectors and fails to make provision for the training of efficient planners, so creating a bottleneck in the supply of the sort of people who can understand and apply the knowledge revolution about planning and forecasting techniques that has taken place in the rest of the world in the 1960s. [More…]
The technological revolution has resulted in wool being in a position different from that which it held in the past, whatever happens. [More…]
China is not economically or even militarily in a position to give any kind of direct aid to revolutionary movements. [More…]
Their theory is that revolution must be made by the peoples of the countries concerned and it is a cheaper way and, in the long run, a more effective way of influence. [More…]
Suppose he teaches the history of the glorious revolution of 1688. [More…]
It was these economic and social conditions, largely created by the French, which became the force behind the 20th century national revolution which Australian and American forces fought in the name of fighting communism. [More…]
When questioned as to what changes this would bring if it occurred, the honourable member replied that the ALP policy would be changed to bring an end to the principle that the United States alli ance is crucial and that there would be a beginning of support for the human rights revolution around the world, more often expressed in the national liberation movements. [More…]
The honourable member for Lalor has been longing for a North Vietnamese communist victory because it is a part of his old fashioned philosophy of history that the tides of communist and socialist revolution are sweeping inexorably through Asia. [More…]
The Prime Minister is in no more convincing a situation, In March last year on his assumption of office following the palace revolution, one of the undertakings he gave was that there would be a far reaching review of social services in the community, and for the year 1971-72 the findings of this review would be implemented. [More…]
In another draft paper for the Communist Party Congress on ‘Aims’ etc., there was this: The communists aim for socialist revolution without civil war. [More…]
This country has never come to the brink of a revolution as has happened in the countries of Latin America where the trade union movement was oppressed and practically wiped out. [More…]
I had the privilege of visiting the Latin American countries in 1962 when they were on the fringe of a revolution because the trade union movement was oppressed and not allowed to function. [More…]
It is the solving by evolution and rationality, rather than by revolution, the problems that we face. [More…]
In order to make a revolution and to fight a people’s war and be victorious, it is imperative to adhere to the policy of self-reliance, rely on the strength of the masses in one’s own country and prepare to cany on the fight independently even when all material aid from outside is cut off. [More…]
If one does not operate by one’s own efforts, does not independently ponder and solve the problems of the revolution in one’s own country and does not rely on the strength of the mases, but leans wholly on foreign aid- [More…]
and a beginning of support for the human rights’ revolution, around the world most often expressed in the national liberation movements. [More…]
It is a fact of recent history that while the technological revolution of the sixties and the seventies has brought great benefits in material good living, in national progress and in economic well-being - it has also had by-products which are despoiling our land and polluting the air and the water around us. [More…]
When we start providing that kind of help for disadvantaged pre-school aged children in Australia we will have a social revolution. [More…]
If the Government is planning to settle industrial disputes by forcing the bg battalions simply to bash it out against the employers - tearing down private property, resorting to arson, destruction, physical violence and revolution then I can only say they have forgotten that the French Revolution, the American Revolution and the Russian Revolution started because a few people in seats of power did not realise that right under their noses a revolution was erupting and could not see that when people were crying out for bread they could not be satisfied by being given cake when there was no cake to give them. [More…]
It would be for the introduction of a system of economic and social revolution. [More…]
It can now be clearly seen that the aim of the socialist left is to destroy arbitration, to work hard for collective bargaining, to produce chaos and anarchy and then revolution. [More…]
Some recent clues, however, suggest that the Labor Party now sees socialism not simply as economic reform but as a revolution in our social and cultural values. [More…]
That is what is happening with primary production around the world, with the green revolution whereas 4 bushels are being garnered in Mexico and Pakistan. [More…]
This was the basic lesson that has come out of all the revolution since Keynes; every conservative economist in the country has said that. [More…]
There has been a communications revolution and apparently we have not observed it, although it has happened right under our noses. [More…]
But the important thing is this: A revolution has occurred in telecommunications. [More…]
This is a philosophy of a simple, rural individualism, before the onset of the industrial revolution of the first half of 19th century Britain. [More…]
The industrial revolution in Britain was made possible by shifting peasants, very often displaced by the enclosure movement, into the factories. [More…]
As Professor Dunphy of the University of New South Wales pointed out in his Boyer address over the radio not so long ago, we are thereby repeating the experience of the English industrial revolution. [More…]
If we had set out 70 years ago to do only what foreign competition allowed us to do, we would now probably have no more than 8 million or 9 million people and by this time we may well have had a revolution caused by depressions and their resultant social conflict. [More…]
I am very proud indeed to be the supporter of a government that for the first time intends to have a scientific look at the question of industrial relations and not just treat it in the way that it has been treated ever since the industrial revolution in Britain. [More…]
In May of 1919 at Dusseldorp Germany, the Allied Forces obtained a copy of some of the ‘Communist Rules for Revolution’. [More…]
Instead of worrying about how to suppress the youth revolution, we of the older generation should be worrying about how to sustain it. [More…]
The technological revolution has freed most women from the heaviest of domestic work, and while most - not all - feel they ought still to be home with their families while they are young, many have been well educated for a non-domestic vocation or, in fact, for a career occupation. [More…]

The population of the world has increased enormously since the Industrial Revolution and since medical science has managed to control diseases such as smallpox and tuberculosis which once wiped out hundreds of thousands of people. [More…]
The first is of greatly diminished significance since 1900 with the transport and communications revolution of the 20th century, together with the social revolution. [More…]
We can refer to the struggle that took place in the United States of America to set up that country’s constitution when lack of representation resulted in the American Revolution and the subsequent setting up of that country’s own form of Government. [More…]
In the early 1800s the French Revolution caused the English ruling class to have a special fear of organised labour. [More…]
I think it most likely would come back divided 30-30 and the Labor Party would not have the vital 31 votes which it needs for revolution. [More…]
Yes, for revolution, not because honourable members opposite are revolutionary individually, although some of them may be, but because they are being directed by a revolutionary body outside this Parliament. [More…]
One would think that, with the passage of this Bill, the revolution was about to start, to paraphrase the remarks of the honourable member for Moreton. [More…]
There was a revolution in working conditions on the waterfront. [More…]
He is in favour of every social revolution, except the next one. [More…]

Is it possible for the funds to be used for other purposes, such as revolution, wars of national liberation, terrorism or guerilla activities in other countries. [More…]
As I say, we can leave a more direct discussion on this matter until we have found out whether the Treasurer agrees with this, because I would be quite positive that unless there has been a revolution in Treasury thinking this would be a rather difficult proposition to get through. [More…]
If the revolution in accessibility to education is to be achieved we must discriminate in favour of those children in greatest need. [More…]
It may require revolution within the Service, but far better a revolution than to have the Service and its highly capable staff frustrated in their efforts to carry out their responsibilities in an efficient manner. [More…]
If the revolution in accessibility to education is to be achieved, we must discriminate in favour of those children in greatest need. [More…]
The revolution is just around the corner according to some of the crazed nuts on the other side of the House. [More…]
It hardly sounds as though the revolution is around the corner in the way that our friends on the other side of the chamber have carried on. [More…]
Finally I was struck in the little research I did on the subject - I think this is one of those subjects people feel about rather than read about, although perhaps feelings come from years of thinking and reading about the subject - by the remarks of that gentleman Robespierre of French revolution fame on the subject when he spoke in 18th century language about the duty of the law maker. [More…]
In France the guillotine was first used in 1789, in the first year of the French Revolution, and continued in use for 180 years, being abolished only in 1969. [More…]
I do not condone the recent revolution one bit, but long before the revolution 750,000 workers in Chile demanded the end of the Allende regime. [More…]
Every country believes in the revolution of rising expectations - and why not? [More…]
But honourable members opposite are like Aneurin Bevan who once said about his political opponents that they are in favour of every revolution except the next one. [More…]
It makes one wonder whether we are facing another revolution here. [More…]
They provide a testing ground for what a revolution in advanced capitalist countries means- the taking-over by the mass of workers of their workplaces, of social and cultural institutions, and finally of the whole of society and the State. [More…]
The House can judge how far this movement towards a state of revolution has already gone by what happened last Friday when the Minister responsible for the generation of power in New South Wales was refused normal admission to a power station by a mob of power workers who were perhaps not technically on strike but who were having a consistent program of go slow. [More…]
I regret very much that it is not appreciated how far this has already gone, how far these people have been able to manipulate the unsuspecting power workers who do not realise what is being done to them and how they are being used as pawns in this revolutionary game by far sighted and unscrupulous communists who are out to double cross and betray their own men. [More…]
I suppose that another part of the revolution has been the raising through the departmental system of such people as Mr Perkins, and the creation of the consultant and liaison branch comprised of the Aboriginal people or anybody else. [More…]
But we are now launching ourselves on what might be called part of the Australian educational revolution. [More…]

No one can compare the constitutional and social changes brought about by the liberal revolution and its peaceful triumph after centuries of feudalism and clerical government. [More…]
The cultural revolution had an enormous effect within China in a number of areas. [More…]
Since the finish of the cultural revolution Chinese leadership has attempted to get things back on an even keel. [More…]
They believe along with the Chinese Communist Government that the detente is a lot of hog wash and that the revolution is on the march as much as it ever was. [More…]
The Minister rightly has talked about a revolution in access to education. [More…]
It is precisely the point which the Minister made in his second reading speech, that the aim is to provide a revolution in access to education. [More…]
If students are to be kept hanging around for 3 months from March in a particular year this is hardly revolutionary access to education. [More…]
This Bill, together with complementary legislation, which gives assistance to students, is part of a conscious and deliberate policy of this Government to produce - these are the Minister’s words - a revolution of access to education. [More…]
As stated at the beginning of my remarks, the aim of this Government is to produce a revolution of access to education. [More…]

The first is this: The world food shortage it seems, is now becoming endemic since population apparently has overtaken the margin that was afforded us by the impact of the green revolution. [More…]
This, of course, would be subject to the good will of both sides, and that good will cannot be guaranteed if on the trade union side there are officials who are not trying to help their men, such as by getting them better conditions, but are trying to organise disruption as a plan for some kind of incipient revolution. [More…]
They would all be revolutionaries as long as the revolution is tomorrow week and not today. [More…]
All our talk of millions of extra dollars should not be allowed to hide the fact that what we are really aiming at is a cultural, social and economic revolution in our society with a new respect for the rights of every individual, not just an elite, to have the opportunity of living a personally satisfying life as a member of a genuinely democratic community. [More…]

Does he consider that the electronics industry may have a special technological significance in the present industrial revolution equal to that of steel in the first industrial revolution? [More…]
It may well be, as the honourable member suggests, that electronics technology in this industrial revolution is of equal importance to steel in the first indus’trial revolution. [More…]
Regarding the ‘Marsellaise’, as has already been said, it arose from the circumstances of the French Revolution. [More…]
It was composed by an artillery officer in a French division from Marseilles fighting against the invaders of France after the Revolution. [More…]
Future historians will almost certainly view the weeks following 6 October 1973 as a period of extraordinary economic changes in the world - a revolution in fact heralding an awakening by some of the previously under-developed, under-privileged, have-not nations to the fact that they may after all be possessors of the world’s most sought after materials, these basic materials being essential to many of the affluent nations if they are to maintain their high standards of living. [More…]
The area of wool marketing with which I have been associated has undergone a major technical revolution in regard to the concepts and processes used in the preparation of wool for marketing. [More…]
However, once the revolution in wool marketing had started it was quickly realised that the concepts that were taught in the traditional wool classing courses were no longer relevant. [More…]
These are encouraging signs within the context of what amounts to a virtual revolution in thinking on development issues throughout the world. [More…]
Although the situation on Zanzibar has been less dear, the present leadership there, as President Nyerere indicated during his visit, is seeking to counter the worst effects of a violent revolution and reactions to years of abuse which stemmed from foreign domination including the slave traffic centred on the island of Zanzibar. [More…]
(a) It is estimated that about 5,000 persons died on Zanzibar during the revolution of January 1964, mounted by both Africans and Arabs against the Sultan’s Government. [More…]
It is revolutionary, as the Minister has suggested. [More…]
It is the sort of revolution that we on this side of the House do not want and it is the sort of revolution that the people of Australia, if they knew about it, would not want. [More…]
Finally, it was not the Duma or the Parliament of Russia which debated the colour of the clergy’s robes during the revolution; it was the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church. [More…]
For threequarters of a century this nation has survived as one of the minority of countries throughout the world which have not suffered from upheaval as a result of revolution or an attempt at armed overthrow of the Government. [More…]

This is clearly a major revolution in the protection of the wheat industry. [More…]
This proposal is a major revolution in the protection of wheat growers’ incomes against fluctuating prices. [More…]
I simply do not believe that anything constructive can result from this urgency motion by the generation of fear or distortion of facts, nor will anything be achieved by members of the Country Party attempting to foment a rural revolution. [More…]
It is of no use the Opposition making these inflammatory speeches in this Parliament, such as that made by the honourable gentleman, to try to inflame the minds of people in the building industry to a point where they blow up into a state of near revolution simply so that the honourable member can come back again next week and make another speech. [More…]
The Minister for Overseas Trade, in ‘The Quiet Revolution’, makes it plain that he wants to alter the system, to destroy stability and to destroy the savings of retired people and the assets of farmers and small businesses- of anyone who has a stake in this country. [More…]

These programs, together with the great support given to the State education systems, represent a social and educational revolution of the first magnitude. [More…]

Dr J. F. Cairns, in his book in 1972 titled ‘The Quiet Revolution’, stated: [More…]
Revolution in an advanced capitalist country can become a possibility only if there is a serious economic crisis. [More…]
I conclude my contribution to the Budget debate by saying that the Labor Government has created that serious economic crisis and that there are some people in the trade union movement with political beliefs of a communist philosophy who are exploiting it to the utmost to bring about that quiet revolution and to destroy free enterprise in this country so that a climate is created where ALP socialism will be the only alternative because private enterprise will no longer be. [More…]
I have in my hand a book entitled The Quiet Revolution’ written by James Ford Cairns, the Minister for Overseas Trade. [More…]
Change is slow and the revolution is quiet. [More…]

It is one of the views which such a party has been expressing since the industrial revolution of the last century. [More…]
I invite honourable members to reflect for a moment upon the differences of scale, rate and complexity in the technological and industrial revolution which has burst upon these people compared with anything that went before. [More…]
As long as this Government does remain in office, especially under a Treasurer who knows that uncontrolled inflation is the quickest way to bring about the social and economic chaos that will allow him to pursue his goal of social revolution, this nation will suffer worsening inflation. [More…]
What we need on the Corporation, and what the Minister has done in this Bill to ensure it, are people who are sensitive to the great revolution which is taking place in wool marketing and to the fact that we will get economies of the order of $100m to $200m a year for wool growers in this country. [More…]
I would assure my friend, the Minister for Services and Property (Mr Daly), that I have not detected anything of the spirit of revolution in the country upon this issue. [More…]

We will see a revolution of monumental proportions in what we now know to be South Vietnam. [More…]

To observe that terrorism is part of revolution changes nothing in their view. [More…]
This nation needs a revolution, but the Communists are too cruel, barbaric. [More…]
But the theory of separation of powers adopted by the French at the time of the Revolution included a view that the ordinary courts should not be concerned with characteristically governmental acts. [More…]
It was no one else but Dr Jim Cairns himself, the author of ‘The Quiet Revolution’ and the man who undoubtedly is pledged to the maximum of his capacity while he is in his present position to socialise Australian industry. [More…]
The Deputy Prime Minister in his book ‘The Quiet Revolution ‘, said: [More…]
Labor rejected revolution not only as undesirable but as impracticable. [More…]
One might, I suppose, substitute the words: ‘The Quiet Revolution’. [More…]

It is not a very revolutionary principle. [More…]
There is one account of the Conseil du Roi in France which started in the thirteenth century, was overthrown in the 1789 revolution and replaced by the Conseil d ‘Etat. [More…]
I should like to draw the attention of the House to the comment of the great French philosopher, Voltaire, who, in 1764, at the time of the French Revolution said: ‘I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it’. [More…]
It reminds one of the historical pronouncement during the days preceding the French revolution when the complaint was made that the people had no bread. [More…]
As honourable members would know, this book readily became a capitalist declaration of independence from the remaining shackles of feudalism and helped to launch an economic revolution that has produced far more wealth than man had amassed in all previous history. [More…]
Yet today the heirs of that revolution cannot celebrate in triumph. [More…]
He saw indexation as part of a plot to achieve a subtle revolution in Australia- a remarkable assertion. [More…]
It is probable that had there been no Teheran and Yalta compacts, western rather than eastern Europe would have become the theatre of revolution- especially France and Italy, where the authority of the old ruling classes was in ruins, the working classes were in revolt, and the Communist parties led the bulk of the armed Resistance. [More…]
At the same time, Churchill and Roosevelt induced the bourgeois ruling groups of eastern Europe to submit to Russia’s preponderance and consequently to surrender to revolution. [More…]
As in the Napoleonic era, revolution and counter-revolution alike were the byproducts of arms and diplomacy. [More…]
Chilean revolution. [More…]
Of course nothing could happen because the whole economic history of the world is such that since the Industrial Revolution the move has been to the cities. [More…]
The Industrial Revolution in Britain finally forced upon that country, as it forced upon this country, many changes in the working of governmental institutions, including the courts and the law, in a period when the rates of change were shorter than we experience today. [More…]
In fact, he reached the extraordinary conclusion that indexation would form pan of the subtle, silent revolution at work in Australia. [More…]
Revolution does not ever happen until some spark ignites the dynamite. [More…]
It could sow the seeds of violent revolution in a few years time. [More…]
It would be a parliamentary revolution for that to happen. [More…]

Port Jackson was an ideal, sheltered deep sea port and with the rapid expansion of railways- bearing in mind that this country was settled and developed after the Industrial Revolution- Sydney became the hub of a quite sophisticated transport system. [More…]
What the honourable gentleman was doing was putting into practice the thesis of the honourable member for Lalor (Dr J. F. Cairns), the quiet revolutionary. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition as Prime Minister was bent on carrying out the not so quiet revolution. [More…]
Keynes brought about what is called the Keynesian revolution in 1935 by pointing out that in that system the equilibrium of full employment was only an accidential equilibrium. [More…]
I can remember the days when he lectured me at Melbourne University on economic history, about the trade union movement and the industrial revolution. [More…]
So it may well be eventually in this country that if the conservative parties and the interests that they represent refuse the Opposition a fair chance to govern or to govern effectively then they may eventually find themselves witnessing, not reform, but revolution. [More…]
Its rush into an allegedly idealistic international Third World of socialism was further marred by the obvious personal ambitions of its individual members to achieve economic and social revolution while leaving their mark on the pages of Australian history. [More…]
The Australian community rejected the Labor Party for its actions and for its rush into revolution. [More…]

There has been an agricultural revolution in this country by the addition of these fertilisers to the pastures. [More…]

If honourable members want a comparison let me deal with Chile where the great revolution took place and where the great copper mining industry of that nation was brought to its knees because suddenly the expertise disappeared, the incentive disappeared. [More…]
I read a very interesting article quite recently in the March edition of the Pastoral Review titled “The Quiet Revolution in Household Spending’. [More…]
This is the biggest one in our area since the Industrial Revolution, yet the Liberal and Country parties continue to talk as if cliches such as free enterprise, the judgment of the market place and less government will solve the problems; all this despite the lessons of history. [More…]
Regrettably comments have been made from time to time by insignificant back benchers, also on the left wing of Australian politics, urging revolution and urging people to take mass action when the parliamentary process did not come out as they expected. [More…]
I believe they are remarks which could involve the urging of mass uprising, revolution in the streets, and the total destruction of parliamentary democracy and the rule of law in this country. [More…]
It is potential revolution. [More…]
I say they are unpatriotic to the extent that they involve an attempt to break down the parliamentary system in this country and to replace it with street rabble revolution. [More…]
That newspaper said that he was talking about ‘anti-democratic revolution’ and was advocating the first step towards a totalitarian regime. [More…]
Was he saying that between each 3- yearly democratic election we should gather in little groups or big groups, that we should go into the streets, that we should preach violence and revolution, and that we should white-ant - [More…]
If he does neither the judgment of Australia will be that the Australian Labor Party has as its Deputy Leader a man who would countenance mass action, physical violence, coming out in the streets and preaching revolution. [More…]
It requires of everyone who is going to take part, a lot of self-questioning, a lot of learning, and in many cases, a sort of internal revolution. [More…]
It is written by Huberman and Sweezy and is on the anatomy of a revolution. [More…]
That is a revolution in Australia’s living standards and values that I propose to do everything in my power to protect. [More…]
Who was to foretell that a Napoleon was to rise from the flames of the French Revolution, that a Hitler would rise from the ashes of a Germany brought to its knees following the Great War, the Versailles Treaty and the Great Depression? [More…]
It is not social revolution, which the Opposition is so concerned about, but it is reform in a concerned way which has at its centre interest for people and the wellbeing of people. [More…]
The first step would be to restrict the generation of power to essential services and to cut it off altogether if the mutineers sought to use that power for purposes to assist the revolution. [More…]
It is reminiscent of the attitude of the Tolpuddle martyrs in the industrial revolution when they smashed machinery. [More…]
He told us about the industrial revolution and about the Tolpuddle martyrs who went to work and smashed up the machines of that time. [More…]
As a revolutionary thinker Mao made unique contributions to the theory and practice of revolution. [More…]
He merged the cause of national liberation with the goal of social revolution to overthrow the Chinese ruling class. [More…]
He developed the idea of the continuing nature of revolution. [More…]
In the cultural revolution he alerted the Chinese revolution and all social revolutions to the dangers of the re-emergence of the ruling cliques or classes. [More…]
He had a profound faith in the ability of the Chinese people to overcome the vast obstacles that faced them and to carry through an effective revolution. [More…]
His firm conviction placed an indelible stamp on the course of the Chinese revolution, and on the revolutionary theory that the world has inherited from Mao Tse-tung. [More…]
Mao also based his strategy for the revolution and for a new China on a belief about the nature of man which is very different from the beliefs that dominate our society. [More…]
They have inherited his theory to guide the course of their revolution for a long time to come. [More…]
There will undoubtedly be struggles ahead in the course of China’s continuing revolution. [More…]
His thoughts have guided the Chinese revolution for 50 years and they will live long in the future achievements of new China. [More…]
I do not think that people should lose sight of the fact that after promising a revolution to restore the pride, confidence and strength of the Chinese empire, Chiang Kai-shek first turned the machine guns on the striking workers in Shanghai in the early 1920s- workers who had struck to facilitate his takeover of the country- then proceeded to collaborate with the very people who had been responsible for the destruction and subjection of China for so long. [More…]
The revolution succeeded because it was able to attract the confidence and patriotic support of the Chinese people. [More…]
Without money the Industrial Revolution could not have occurred. [More…]
There is a vast potential for effect upon our economy and upon our whole system if the world economy changes to the extent that it could change if the monetary backing for international trading agreements becomes a gold-backed rouble rather that the British pound, or more recently the American dollar- the backing which has existed since the time of the Industrial Revolution. [More…]
There is the assumption that mankind would carry out the social revolution demanded, that underdeveloped nations would not aim to reach our levels and that those in our society who already consider themselves close to subsistence level would join with the affluent in reducing their consumption. [More…]
The honourable member for Wills thinks that that personifies the revolution to which he is looking forward. [More…]
I am not often an advocate of the late Chairman Mao, but I believe his idea in this field of a cultural revolution every 15 years has much to commend it. [More…]

This is what he said about the Hungarian revolution - [More…]
In a sense the green revolution was an achievement but there are many people today who look upon the green revolution as being a disaster for although it did result in a much greater yield per acre for crops, at the same time it introduced into basic peasant societies expectation of technological innovation and, when added to the fact that they have already such a huge population which is underemployed, one must seriously question whether a high standard of technology is the answer to their difficulty.

[More…]
Public policy in Australia supports the automotive revolution through extensive outlays on streets, highways and freeways. [More…]
After all, the biggest revolution which has taken place, and it is a very efficient change if one looks at the expense ratio, is that the insurance companies have gone into the superannuation business rather than the old form of endowment and term policies. [More…]
I find this amendment offensive though not to the extent of leading to a revolution. [More…]
The capacity of AUS effectively to present student views to governments and educational authorities in Australia is undermined by its being controlled by extreme left-wing elements who are more concerned with pursuing their own political goal of socialist revolution for Australia than serving the real needs of students. [More…]
The booklet also states that revolution is not on the agenda for Australia at this time but radical activist groups must engage in practice- it is called revolutionary practice- to precede a revolutionary situation. [More…]
The industrial revolution is spreading over the face of the earth. [More…]
Oozing goodwill and sympathy for the underprivileged on incomes above $25,000 he presented his revolutionary new Budget that will effectively redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich. [More…]
There could have been no more appropriate adjective to describe this Budget than ‘revolutionary’. [More…]
A Budget designed to soak the poor to benefit the rich ought to cause a revolution. [More…]
This was a complete revolution in the family allowance system. [More…]
My reading of history indicates that there was an agricultural revolution before there was an industrial revolution and that there were differences in the industrial revolution as between one country and another. [More…]
The industrial revolution occurred early in England and later in Germany, and it occurred in a different way in France. [More…]
They are the sort of people who, if one saw them at the French Revolution being taken in the tumbrils to the guillotine and a wheel came off, would get out and help the executioner put it back on. [More…]
Let me first point out that the changes the Treasurer regarded as revolutionary were simply a replacement of a tax rebate with a tax-free income zone and the reduction of the number of steps in the income tax scale from seven to three- or seven to four if we count the first nontaxable zone as one step. [More…]
The revolution is not in the form of the new system but in its relative incidence. [More…]

The doubling of the education budgets in 1973 and 1974 and the subsequent distribution of the funds made available under those budgets on a real needs basis under the Karmel report saw an amazing revolution in the ordinary state schools- the parochial schools in Parramatta where the bulk of the children go. [More…]
However, a large part of the problem came from the technical revolution in farming. [More…]
We have gone through a resource usage revolution. [More…]
I believe that because of this silent revolution in the use of Australian resources the 1 980s will see a very big change in the demand for labour. [More…]

In my maiden speech on 23 February I spoke about the Post Industrial Revolution’ or, to use two alternative names, the ‘Post Service Revolution’ or the ‘Information Society’. [More…]

The classic example is the French Revolution. [More…]
Education in the last generation in Australia has seen a revolution. [More…]
The increasing internationalisation of production stemming from the power of highly mobile multinational corporations has further added to the instability of the economy and poses special structural difficulties for Australia, allied as they are to the industrial revolution in South East and East Asia. [More…]
Laser beams racing along glass fibres thinner than the threads of a spider’s web carried massive volumes of information from place to place at blinding speeds- a bundle of fibres as thick as a matchstick could transmit the contents of 200 books in a second- causing a revolution in communications. [More…]
It was probably in a better housing situation that at any time since the 18th century Industrial Revolution. [More…]
The honourable member for Cunningham (Mr West) seemed very disappointed that the trade union courses to which he referred did not preach the degree of revolution and the overthrow of our society that he would have liked. [More…]
To allow to develop a situation in which we are vulnerable to revolution and changes of government in other parts of the world or to an OPEC-type operation in relation to the price of rock phosphate could mean that Australian users of rock phosphate and, in turn, the farmers who use superphosphate and other phosphatic fertilisers will have to pay exorbitant prices. [More…]
Our basic manpower policies have not changed since the industrial revolution. [More…]
They portend a real social and economic revolution of the same or greater proportions than the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century. [More…]
I have stated before that one of the good things about the Telecom Australia dispute was that it brought to the fore and to the notice of the public the fact that the second industrial revolution was not around the corner but was upon us. [More…]
This industrial revolution, of course, was brought about by computerisation. [More…]
This is the second industrial revolution and it has to be grappled with. [More…]
We have to understand the changing nature of the information revolution. [More…]
In the Budget last year the then Treasurer proclaimed the new tax arrangements as ‘the most revolutionary change yet made to Australia’s system of income tax ‘. [More…]

-Did the Minister for Post and Telecommunications hear the radio program AM on 10 October in which it was reported that Peter McLullan, President of the Young Lawyers Association of Victoria, and Neil McLean, former national leader of the Australian student movement, broadcast from China to Thailand calling for continued communist revolution in Thailand? [More…]
It is generally believed now- I have seen no evidence to contradict this belief- that the tertiary sector is the sector which will feel the enormous impact of the technological revolution, so we cannot expect it to take up the reduction in employment in the manufacturing sector that has applied hitherto. [More…]
This kind of adjustment has been going on since the Industrial Revolution, and despite some recent hysteria there is no reason why we cannot sensibly agree on ways of sharing the work and the benefits of the particular kinds of technological advance available to us now. [More…]

As to what is happening today in South East Asia, the signatures on this document simply witness the fact that there are regimes which are endeavouring to hold back the course of social change and social revolution in South East Asia. [More…]
One cannot hold back social revolution in these countries by supporting corrupt and reactionary regimes. [More…]
On the other, the effects of the micro-processor revolution threaten the job security of employees in banking, insurance and other clerical areas. [More…]
This Government takes an extraordinarily callous attitude to the post-industrial revolution and is sitting on its butt doing nothing about the people who are being replaced by machines. [More…]
There is no way that the Government can sit back and blithely say that this post-industrial revolution, this onset of advancing technology, can be likened to the industrial revolution when initially the crofters smashed the machines which slowly created more employment for them. [More…]
We have to understand that the industrial revolution was marked by an enormous population increase. [More…]
-If the Minister can contain himself I will turn now to the postindustrial revolution. [More…]
If one looks at the communes of China one will see that the revolution in China was directly related to land reform in that country. [More…]
Is it any wonder that if one does not look at the basic problem of land reform one will be virtually looking at the emergence of a revolutionary force based on the assumption that there must be a better way of life. [More…]
