Historical information

The tape has not been played but from the label it is presumed to be a recording of John Gorton to launch Legacy week.
For many years the main time of year for fundraising is September when Legacy holds 'Legacy Week'. Often there is a celebrity who would launch the appeal so presumably John Gorton recorded a message.
John Gorton flew for the RAAF in World War 11, and was Prime Minister of Australia.

Significance

A record that celebrities were part of the Legacy Appeals in the 1970s.
