First, a reformist Labor national government was elected which had a mandate to change the social conditions in Australia. It replaced the stable but conservative Menzies Government that had increased the nation’s prosperity, but had done next to nothing for sport. One of the first things the Whitlam Government did was to establish a Ministry of Sport, and start funding a programme that both increased the number of community leisure centres around Australia, and assisted national sporting bodies to improve their operations.
