Ben Chifley - exploited the rising Cold War hysteria to portray Labor as soft on Communism. These events, together with a perception that Chifley and Labor had grown increasingly arrogant in office, led to the sweeping Liberal election victory of December 1949. Chifley, at 64 and in poor health (like Curtin he was a lifelong smoker), refused to retire. Labor had retained control of the Senate and Chifley intended frustrating the Menzies government and returning to power. But in 1951 Menzies introduced his bill to ban the Communist Party, which Chifley opposed on civil liberties grounds. Menzies exploited this issue to call a double dissolution election in April 1951, and succeeded in winning control of both Houses.

CityRail - the extensive system of urban, suburban and intercity railways based on metropolitan Sydney, the capital city of the State of New South Wales in Australia. Its intercity lines also extend outside of metropolitan Sydney to the Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands, Wollongong, the Shoalhaven River, the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Despite the extensive service, CityRail is frequently criticised because it is not up to standard with other cities (especially those in Europe), having outdated infrastructure, old trains, poor service, etc. Most of the system is electrified with power supplied by means of overhead wire; however, some isolated sections outside the Sydney metropolitan area are still operated by diesel railcars. CityRail is owned by the New South Wales State Government and is a "product group'' of the State Rail Authority.

Culture of Australia - culture has emerged in the two centuries since European settlement. Somewhere in between these two views may be found the great central thread of debate about Australian culture: the perennial attempt to ask and answer the question, "Does Australia 'have' a culture, and if so what is it?" The obsessive preoccupation with this question has lasted decades, and shows no sign of fading. Finally, there is what might be termed a culturally agnostic view, which holds that endlessly debating Australian culture is futile and pointless, and that the important thing is to simply get on with living and creating it. This last viewpoint is expressed in intellectual terms from time to time, but is mostly evident in the practical activities of Australians in a wide range of fields. "Popular culture" vs.
Walter Burley Griffin - to struggle with politics and bureaucracy. Several parts of his basic design underwent change. For instance, plans to create a Westbourne, Southbourne and Eastbourne Avenue to complement Canberra's Northbourne Avenue came to nothing. An intended series of streets arranged in asterisk fashion intended for inner south-east Canberra (in what are now the suburbs of Fyshwick and Narrabundah) were similarly never built. He later designed the inner northern Sydney suburb of Castlecrag. It used what was at that time the novel concept of including native bushland in the design. He also helped to design the New South Wales towns of Leeton and Griffith. In 1935 the Burley-Griffins left Australia to go to Lucknow, India. During his time there, he designed a series of 60 university buildings. This activity ceased in 1937, when.
