Albanese, Starmer and a generous comparison to Labor legends
Prime Minister Anthony Argılbes, US President Donald Trump for a selfie-hard selfie for a new, in the weekend, the UK, the UK Labor Party conference with the “wife” Sir Keir Starmer began a slight debate to address.
In a great speech about the responsibility of Australia and Britain’s responsibility of “Defense of Democracy”, a sentence stood out. After the World War II, Albania, who referred to him and the leadership of Starmer’s leadership, said, “Clement Attele and Ben Chifley and the labor governments worked to build societies worthy of those who fought to defend the world from fascism and persecution”.
How did Albanian and Starmer have gained such comparisons without wanting to evaluate anyone too much?
Chifley and Albanian
Australia’s war time time, and then the first war prime minister Chifley supervised a highly ambitious program.
As Mungo Maccallum stated Good, bad and unexpectedAfter winning the 1946 election, Chifley launched the post -war post -war immigration program, launched a motor vehicle industry, subsidized the state hospital system to provide free public wards… And opened an independent news service to compete with the anti -labor media for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ”.
In 1946, the Chifley government greatly expanded the federal government’s ability to maintain social welfare through one of a few successful referendums in the history of Australia, which changed the constitution to allow the Feds to legislated:
Maternity appropriations, pensions of widows, Children’s Foundation, Unemployment, Drug, Disease and Hospital Aids, Medical and Dentistry Services (but not to authorize any civilian request), benefits to students and family allowances
As Frank Bongiorno stated Dreamers and schemesThe Supreme Court hit Chifley’s most ambitious movement: nationalizing the banking and aviation industries (added, Chifley’s reluctance).
Therefore, the failure of Albanian’s biggest head to Chifley’s biggest head of his most ambitious policy is an attempt to start a indigenous voice to Parliament in the first period. Somewhere else, identifiers -most united With Albania’s time in the office “ringing” And “small target“Can this allow it to initiate a more permanent and structural change in the past? Not according to Albo!
“Our government’s vision and ambition for the future of Australia was never dependent on the magnitude of our majority,” he said to the National Press Club. “However, if you create confidence that you can meet urgent needs for the vision, it is also important how you do it – it allows today’s actions to wait for more reforms tomorrow and create conditions.”
ATTLEE AND STARMER
It is even sharp with contrast Attlee. The second work in the history of his country, Prime Minister Attlee, supervised the establishment of the British Welfare State, and most importantly, the institution of the National Health Service.
Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw written Command heights On the basis of the reforms that can kill the “five giant ıyan affecting the British society and from the Beveridge Report of the proposed reforms: asking, illness, ignorance, squalor and laziness (unemployment):
The influence of the report would be globally and comprehensively, but forever, not only the Britain, but also the entire industrialized world began to see the obligations of the social welfare of the state.
The workers’ government, which implemented the proposals of the Beveridge report, established free medical care, created new pension systems, encouraged better education and housing and tried to fulfill its open commitment to ‘full employment’.
He should only read George Orwell or Harry Leslie Smith, to see what transformative effect on it to understand what Britain’s basic life level might be.
Opposition leader Sussan Ley accused Albanian with “swan” about the “left wing friends” and the taxpayer Dime. which one, lol. In 2024, Sir Keir Starmer watched his landslide victory in almost crisis mode. And it was definitely not because of the bold, risky initiatives about Attele -style reform. As BBC stated A piece of curious How Muzaffer PM can escape so quickly from the “honeymoon period”:
In many important areas – social care, child poverty, industrial strategy – the instinct of the government was to initiate investigations and consultations instead of decisive direction.
