| Description | This lapel pin features a white map of Australia inscribed 'FOR AUSTRALIA'. Some medals issued around the time of Australia's federation suggested that a federated Australia was not for everyone. The frequent use of a white map of Australia reinforced the government's desire to create a trade-protected, white, predominantly British population. |
| Biographical Note / History | In September 1911 the People's Liberal Party was formed from a merger between the Commonwealth Liberal Party (formed 1909) and the People's Party. The People's Liberal Party stood for a national policy of Protection and was active for seven years. |
