Clip description
In an address to camera, 80-year-old Labor Parliamentarian Dr William Maloney comments on some of the achievements of his 45 years of political life, including helping to introduce the vote for women and removing the word 'illegitimate’ from the birth registry. He also expresses his hopes for the future progress of Australia.
Curator’s notes
There is a man with a clapper board visible at the very end of the newsreel (but not seen in this clip). He is Bert Nicholls, Thring’s assistant camera operator, who went on to work for Cinesound Productions and shot a number of films for Ken G Hall and Charles Chauvel.
