Jack Lang

Premier of NSW for two terms: 1925 to 1927 and 1930 to 1932.

"On 12 April 1931, he said to an audience in Ballarat:

I am just a plain, blunt man with a simple, straightforward story to tell of what seems to me to be the position in Australia to-day ... I bring a message of hope to the people of Australia

and his wife spoke of him to the audience:

... one day, he said to me: 'Look, my girl, we have no money, and I suppose we never will have any, but we have our children. We have nine of them, you know, and they are going to live in Australia when you and I are no longer here, and, by heaven, I am not going to allow anyone to ruin Australia if I can lift a finger to prevent it'
