"A collection spanning 230 years from Captain Phillip to Kevin Rudd's stolen generation, here is stirring and passionate oratory from all fields and endeavours. This is a must for people interested in history and politics and includes Ned Kelly's last speech, Dame Nellie Melba, Miles Franklin, David Malouf, Mick Dodson, Gough Whitlam, John Kerr and more. Great stuff! "

Book description

Great Australian Speeches brings together a diverse and often moving collection of over 50 speeches ranging from colonial times to the present day. Some have resonated with a power enough to shape the nation; others encapsulate the best - and worst of the Australian character. This selection proves that stirring oratory is not simply the preserve of politicians and military figures.
