Election Speeches
Each election, Prime Ministerial candidates lay out their parties’ platforms in campaign speeches. These speeches are more than just historical records; they tell us about national concerns and political obsessions, wars and drought, industry and society. They speak to – and in some cases, exploit – our aspirations and our fears.
The site collects the official election speeches by successful and unsuccessful candidates from every election from 1901 right up to the present day.
