dc.description.abstractJune 1982 will be remembered for the Quigley affair. Precipitated by Mr D. F. Quigley's address to the Young Nationals on June 7,[1] the Prime Minister responded with the ultimatum that the Minister either publicly apologise to his Cabinet colleagues or resign. Mr Quigley resigned. The Prime Minister: "[H]is speech went 'well beyond' the limits of collective responsibility in which cabinet ministers worked. . . [I]t went beyond that which was acceptable from a Cabinet Minister unless accompanied by his resignation."[2] "Bear in mind that we are not talking about a backbencher." Said the Prime Minister: "[T]here is a real difference between what a backbencher could say and what a Minister could say."[3]en
