3 unusual facts about Les Bury


Les Bury

During John Gorton's first ministry in 1968 and 1969 when Phillip Lynch was Minister for the Army, conscription was regularly attacked with the slogan, "Lynch Bury and bury Lynch".

According to Peter King, he "... would attend football matches with Labor leader Arthur Calwell in Melbourne and ... shadow Treasurer Frank Crean stayed at the Bury home in Sydney".

This strongly conflicted with Deputy Prime Minister John McEwen's concerns over its impact on Australian exports to the United Kingdom.
