UNITY IN AUTONOMY LAUNCH.

The article focuses on the 80th anniversary of the founding of The Liberal Party of Australia, initiated by Robert Menzies in 1944, and the launch of the book "Unity in Autonomy – A Federal History of the Founding of the Liberal Party." The event featured notable speakers, including former Prime Minister John Howard, who reflected on Menzies' contributions to the party and Australian politics, particularly regarding education and the Coalition's dynamics with the Country Party. Howard emphasized the importance of trust and loyalty within political partnerships and discussed the historical context of the Liberal Party's formation and its evolution across different Australian states. The book aims to document the party's history and achievements, addressing a perceived lack of self-promotion among its members. [Extracted from the article]
