The Chifleys of Busby Street (2008)

Ben Chifley (1885 - 1951) was a railway driver who became Australia's best loved Prime Minister in 1945. He lived by the principles of compassion and concern for his fellow Australians. Many advantages we enjoy are the product of his vision. In this 'People's History' approach, the film gathers a communal memory of Chifley and his wife Elisabeth, visiting his home in Bathurst, NSW, a modest suburban bungalow in which continued to live even as PM. Over 50 friends, neighbours and colleagues contribute anecdotes and memories to the film.
