In June 2012 Malcolm Fraser was asked to give the 2012 Gough Whitlam Oration and he said:

“I am honoured to be asked to make this speech.”

During his speech, Malcolm Fraser said:

“I am reminded of some words of Abraham Lincoln:

I am not bound to win,

but I am bound to be true,

I am not bound to succeed,

but I am bound to live up to what light I have.

I must stand with anybody that stands right,

stand with him while he is right,

and part with him when he goes wrong.”

 

I think maybe some of our politicians would do good to think a bit about these words by Abraham Lincoln.
