On the back of this debenture, is a quotation from Mr Lang’s policy speech in 1930, in which he stated: “The pledge to the people from a Labour man is as binding as his pledge to the bondholders. Labour sets its face against repudiation.” There follows-a list of broken promises and defaults by the Lang Government.
