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…]
If there had not been a revolution in the Party room, the Government would have got away with it. [More…]

Even if Sir Charles has lapsed I am supremely confident that other loyalist zealots in the hydra-headed Australian League of Rights will vociferously demand that these potential fomentors of revolution be rigorously excluded from this country. [More…]
In attempt to break the revolution, numbers of Hungarians, including some women, were deported to the Soviet Union and some may not have been returned to their homes. [More…]
It is a sad feeling that I and any honourable senator sitting in this House who derives paternally from Great Britain have when I see that the country which led the industrial revolution is now in its present state simply because of the besotted pursuit of a socialist objective. [More…]
I refer the Senate to the excellent summary by the honourable member for Franklin (Mr Goodluck) in the debate in the other place of the chronological history of the apprenticeship movement from the year 2100 BC, through the years of the Industrial Revolution in England, to the present in Australia. [More…]
There had to be mistakes in what was a revolution in education and a revolution in expenditure over those 3 years- over those two eighteen-month terms of government. [More…]
Fission energy is safe only if a number of critical devices work as they should, if a number of people in key positions follow all their instructions, if there is no sabotage, no hijacking of transports, if no reactor fuel processing plant or waste repository anywhere is situated in a region of riots or guerrilla activity and no revolution or war- even a ‘conventional one’- takes place in these regions. [More…]
To install these facilities in a home would mean a revolution in their whole style of living. [More…]
They might also consider that the time is not ripe at the moment for revolution; that we are now in a trough and the wave will come when they will provide more support. [More…]
This has been the history of Chinese support for revolutions. [More…]
I do not call that constitutional reform; I call that revolution. [More…]
It is therefore clear that the only solution of this problem is a new proletarisation of this workers’ aristrocracy because it is impossible to achieve a successful revolution without a proletariat. [More…]
They are back again, out again, disappearing in planes on the border with the Soviet Union, returning from the grave, leading the cultural revolution and then becoming members of the Gang of Four. [More…]
Mrs Han Suyin writes articles one day saying how Madam Chiang Ching is bringing about a new type of socialism and democracy because she is a guide of the cultural revolution and then a week later she writes in Scope that this is in fact not the case and that Madam Chiang Ching and 3 others were all members of the Gang of Four who were plotting to restore capitalism. [More…]
One of the great publicised activities of aid and development in agriculture in underdeveloped countries in recent years has been the socalled green revolution. [More…]
Any person who studies what has happened in those countries as a result of the implementation of the green revolution will realise that the lifestyle and the agricultural economy of those countries have been upset. [More…]
So the withdrawal of the Portuguese and the revolution in their own country as well as in Timor was part of the context of the problem as far back as September 1944. [More…]
If this matter is carried beyond the point it has now reached it is my fear that it will do no good to those people directly involved as the problems of war and revolution occur. [More…]
Of course, the other factor which has to be borne in mind is the sort of revolution of rising expectations which has flooded Australian universities in the last decade and left technical institutions in the Cinderella situation- again as the poor relation of universities and, lately, as the poor relation of colleges of advanced education. [More…]
I suggest that consideration be given by the Opposition to amending its motion to add, after sub-paragraph (e) of paragraph (1) the following new subparagraphs: (ea) the involvement of the Communist Party of Australia in support of the Fretilin cause in Australia; (eb) the association between Fretilin and other Marxist groups in European and African countries; (ec) the part played by Marxist officers of the Portuguese battalion sent to Timor after the revolution in Portugal; (ed) whether there was any improper action by the Soviet Embassy in offering to assist Mr K.. Fry M.P. [More…]
It is my hope that some of the suggestions being made currently in this area will be approved and that the whole system can start from a new base and meet the sociological revolution concerning the housing of the aged. [More…]
Ever since the issue of Timor became relevant to Australia, that is, since the colonial administration began to break down following the revolution that took place in Portugal, there has been a growing interest in this issue and in the right of the Timorese people to self-determination. [More…]
They even go into industry and attempt to identify the original sources of noise in high revolution machinery which may be objectionable to those working in the area or those nearby. [More…]

It is a sad thing that some academic staff and students believe in violence and in the Maoist theory of revolution and violence. [More…]
The only countries I know of which take the view that international undertakings and commitments of one government need not be honoured by the next are the communist countries where power has been seized by revolution. [More…]
I suppose I could refer also to what was said by that great Welshman Aneurin Bevan when he said that delayed reform breeds revolution. [More…]
I believe that Senator Mulvihill indicated that he too agreed that there was a measure of reform, because he quoted the words that too slow a reform breeds revolution. [More…]

A revolution in Russia overthrew this regime of the Russian Orthodox Church. [More…]
It is one that works by evolution and not by revolution. [More…]
Revolutionary feeling begins in the perception of fraud. [More…]
Sitting smugly with their overwhelming majority in both House of Parliament, the Conservatives regard any talk of revolution as laughable, and I hope that they are right. [More…]
Senator James McClelland said tonight that nothing leads to revolution quicker than the belief that there has been fraud and that there is no way out of it. [More…]
It is important to say again that there is a quiet revolution going on in the field of information sciences and too few people are aware of it. [More…]
It has been the people’s respect for the institution of Parliament that has saved us from the violence of revolution and the law of the street. [More…]
As I recall the parliaments that came after the Restoration and certainly after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, they passed a number of very great Bills- the Habeas Corpus Act, the Bill of Rights and certain great parliamentary measures- which brought about so many of our freedoms today. [More…]
The pace in international organisations’ fighting hijacking and terrorism has been deliberately deterred by people who are fomenting revolution of an armed nature throughout the world. [More…]
As the honourable senator will recall, it was part of the settlement after the glorious revolution in about 1680 that the Army Act of England had to be renewed each year. [More…]
Mr Clancy was speaking on his return from Moscow where he attended celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the Russian revolution. [More…]
Think of the industrial revolution. [More…]
Indeed, when Portugal left Timor, Mozambique and Angola she left behind chaos, revolution, bloodshed, poverty and misery. [More…]
Their thinking was that the purpose of civilised democratic constitutional government in countries such as Britain was to carry on the traditions which had been established by the glorious Whig revolution of 1688, to take by gradual constitutional means with the consent of the electors steps towards a state of society in which, whether the means of production were publicly or privately owned, at least there was, as far as one could possibly achieve these means by legislative action, equality of opportunity amongst all of the people to live in England, which was the country with which they were dealing. [More…]
I am reminded that in 1 802, early in the industrial revolution, a book entitled Cotton is King was written. [More…]
We have been witnessing the arrival on our shores of the technological revolution, particularly now in communications and information processing, and the accelerating replacement of men and women with machines and integrated circuits at a hitherto undreamed of pace and scale. [More…]
This was pretty well the start of a revolution in Western Australia in stud breeding methods. [More…]
Some people are crying havoc at the prospects of the technological revolution- computer technology and so on- a revolution which undoubtedly already has had a marked impact on the manufacturing sector and is now having the same effect in the information processing area, particularly in the automation of routine clerical and typing operations. [More…]
We must have the advantages of the second industrial revolution without the evil social consequences of the first. [More…]
Of course, they can only be a part of the transition to this second industrial revolution but I mention them because at the moment they are being used in exactly the wrong way. [More…]
With all the rabid proselytisers of free enterprise who seem to populate the Liberal Party of Western Australia, I am surprised that there was not a palace revolution when Sir Charles Court nationalised the Midland Railway Co. in the mid-1960s. [More…]
The Press was equally happy about the way in which the Senate Estimates Committees were operating and an article headed ‘Revolution in the Senate ‘ in the Melbourne Sunday Observer of 25 October 1970 made the following comment: [More…]
Further, even though many penalty rates were consent awards, would the Minister not agree that the demands of the current technological revolution make their contribution to productivity and employment a negative one? [More…]
It was the natural forces in the market place that eventually placed vast areas of Chinese property- virtually all Chinese property- in the hands of two related families, the Chiangs and the Soongs, and created the strains that led to the success of the communist revolution late in 1949. [More…]
Are we to stumble through this great social and economic revolution on a purely ad hoc basis, which will mean a welter of strikes, disunity, mistrust and neo-Luddite activity? [More…]
It is pretty plain that we are not going to do very well just pursuing the old paths, especially in competition with the very energetic Asian industrial revolution that is going on in such places as South Korea, Taiwan and, of course, China. [More…]
In ideological and political terms, it remains to be seen what ‘demonstration effect’ the Iranian revolution will have on neighbouring countries whose internal stability can never be taken for granted. [More…]
However, last July it was obvious that Iran was on the brink of revolution. [More…]
The second area of concern is that not only is Japan facing a major industrial change by automating its factories, it is also facing a revolution on the world’s markets because its cost structures have risen significantly above those of countries such as Korea and Taiwan. [More…]
Technological change, which started in the industrial revolution, seemed to be the answer to many of man’s problems. [More…]
Perhaps the Institute should explore a great variety of factors which bear on the desirability of the nuclear family which I think most historians and sociologists would say is a sort of bastard child of the industrial revolution. [More…]
It seems to me that the first break in this respect- it is relevant to the struggles that are engulfing our region at the moment- took place during the Russian revolution of 1917. [More…]
A paranoid fear accompanies the whole subsequent development of the social system associated with that revolution in 1917. [More…]
Time does not permit me to deal with every other incident that has taken place in foreign affairs since then, but a somewhat similar situation developed in the Chinese revolution, which was consummated in 1949 when the Chinese people liberated their country from the forces of Chiang Kai-shek, who had at certain stages of that country’s history collaborated with the Japanese in defence of the feudal system that operated there. [More…]
We did not even have an inkling of recent events in Iran, although I note that Senator Kilgariff claimed in his speech that when he was in Iran last year he felt that that country was on the brink of revolution. [More…]

I believe the fact that we rarely do so and the fact that even the media in this country rarely discuss foreign affairs, except on spectacular occasions of war and revolution, is regrettable. [More…]
He said that the Tertiary Education Assistance Scheme was a major step taken by the Government in its program to produce a revolution of access to education. [More…]
There has been a revolution in fighter aircraft technology. [More…]
One recalls the statement made by Alexander Solzhenitsyn that ‘in our country since the revolution there has never been such a thing as a free trade union’. [More…]
Of course, now the situation has changed quite rapidly, not only with the creation of specialist tribunals such as the Social Security Appeals Tribunals, for one, but also with the enactment of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975 and the supporting array of legislation, in particular the Ombudsman Act 1976 and the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act of 1 977, which, at least when they all come into full operation, will create a situation of real revolution in our administrative law. [More…]
On the other hand, it will cause concern to those who would attempt to overthrow us and our way of life by revolution. [More…]
However, he talked about people in Australia who are trying to overthrow the Government by violent revolution. [More…]
If that is the case we must have a very poor intelligence organisation because I cannot recall the last time anybody was arrested in this country for trying to overthrow the Government by violent revolution. [More…]
The point that I am making is this: If the word ultimately’ stays in the Bill then we have caught up as potentially subversive- therefore subject to all the powers that are vested in the Organisation by this Act- all those rather pathetic little splinter groups particularly of the far Left which engage in most cases more out of a sense of duty rather than any real belief in fuzzy, millenarian rhetoric about the ultimate revolution. [More…]
I make this point particularly in the light of the sorts of contributions we had from Senator Lewis and others of his kind during the second reading debate in which he asserted, as a matter of obvious and uncontested reality, that revolutionary groups which were scattered around the Australian political landscape were quite properly the subject matter of Australian Security Intelligence Organization surveillance. [More…]
The particular revolutionary groups Mr Justice Hope adverted to quite specifically in his report as having in their political platforms quite explicit revolutionary aspirations, were the Communist Party, the Socialist Party of Australia and the Communist Party of Australia Marxist-Leninist. [More…]
Finally, the third body that attracts Mr Justice Hope’s explicit attention, at page 48 of the report in question, is the CPA(M/L), the China-line communist party which recently, of course, found itself split into two rather bitterly-opposed factions, with its barely 1,000 members divided between those who pledge undying loyalty to the Gang of Four and the Cultural Revolution and those- the larger group- who support the current more pragmatically-inclined Chinese leadership. [More…]
Certainly Chinese foreign policy in the post-Mao period would hardly encourage wild schemes of revolution in Australia. [More…]
He indicated that the reports that 2 1 more executions took place on 8 May brought the total executions since the revolution to almost 200, a matter, I think, that all would deplore. [More…]
He gave several illusions that we have accepted since the Industrial Revolution. [More…]
Many of them fled from the Mao Tse-tung revolution to many places. [More…]

The revolution has led to a period of unparalleled expansion in the industry, which has set the tune for the industry’s future development, provided it receives sympathetic Government consideration during the rest of the 70s. [More…]
The problems with computerisation and the micro-processor revolution mean that many forms of labour are becoming increasingly unattractive vis a vis computers in service industries. [More…]

What has happened is that there has been a revolution in Australian domestic air travel. [More…]

In view of the need for Australia to maintain its position with respect to research and development in the face of international competition at a time when we are on the verge of a technological revolution, will the Minister exert his influence on the Government to review this policy with the objective of substantially increasing Government funding and incentives to industry, et cetera, in order to step up our research capacity, which I regard as very critical to Australia. [More…]
Ever since the industrial revolution we have had strikes in industry. [More…]
I repeat that ever since the industrial revolution there have been strikes in industrialised countries. [More…]
Here we are living in a post-industrial revolution society. [More…]
By a curious coincidence- it is funny how antiSemites seem to say exactly the same thing from whichever direction they come- the Australian League of Rights was circulating at the same time a document in which it said that this apparently very versatile banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. financed the Russian Revolution in 1917! [More…]
He dealt with this subject in a number of his writings, for instance, the Speech on Fox’s East India Bill, his Reflections on the Revolution in France, on Letters on a Regicide Peace and the Appeal from the New Whigs to the Old, and many others. [More…]
He was referring to the French revolution- cannot be the rights of the people. [More…]
In fact, if a government does not handle its human rights correctly it can wind up having civil wars and revolution. [More…]
One has only to consider the great civil wars and revolutions of history to note that they were all fought over human rights. [More…]
France had a revolution in which the cry was for liberty, equality and fraternity. [More…]
China and Russia both had revolutions which, similarly, were designed to throw off autocratic and aristocratic governments. [More…]
The industrial revolution happened, and could only have happened, in a society that had developed a theoretical intellectual system, natural science and a pre-industrial technology of a high order. [More…]
The recent revolution in Iran is a clear example of the difficulties and dangers of trying to impose the Western model on an Islamic society. [More…]
What is often put forward as a simple transfer of resources, techniques and information is, in fact, a revolution of the most momentous consequences. [More…]
I cannot see that it will ferment revolution or subversion or treason. [More…]

I remind the Minister that during the adjournment debate last night Senator Walsh referred to the citizens of Rhodesia as ‘potential fomenters of revolution’ and asked about Rhodesian citizens in the following rhetorical questions: [More…]
