Sunday Political Broadcasts "Not a Fair Go"
(11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, Feb. 28. Clergymen are criticising the Prime Minister for choosing Sunday evenings at the church hour to broadcast his “reports to the nation.”
A Presbyterian minister, the Rev. S. A. Eastman, said that for some time the Australian Council of Churches had been concerned about Sunday being used as a kind of special day for party political propaganda and public meetings without a vestige of spiritual religion. “If the national leaders want us to build a better and Christian Commonwealth,” he added, “they why don’t they give the Church a fair go instead of competing with us in our particular piece of work? It is neither good unionism nor good grace.”
