 The Menzies Government, by its participation in the plans for the development of other nations, can see the virtue of planning for them but apparently cannot see the virtue of a plan for Australia. |
| It is a great privilege for any man to become a member of the Senate. |
| We must have as clear a picture as we can of the Australia that we want to achieve at the end of that time. |
| The people of Australia would be staggered to learn that Australia has no national development plan. |
| The Australian people want to help build this country into a great nation. This budget... has not realized the capacity of the Australian people. It has underestimated them. It has let us down. |

| Where there is a will there is a way. And this must be the way not of compulsion but of cooperation... No government and no plan can succeed without it. |
| There are no insuperable constitutional difficulties. |
