Target : magazine of the Eureka Youth League. (Sydney : Eureka Youth League
of Australia, 1962-1968)
The issue on display, for June 1964, has a photograph of the Beatles on the
cover and an article on "Beatles and Beatlemania." The article stresses the
working class backgrounds of the individual Beatles, and ends with a reference
to the then British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas Home, a Conservative, and
the Labour Party leader Harold Wilson,
Sir Alec Home promptly claimed credit for them [i.e.
the Beatles] and was as promptly accused of political clothes-stealing by Mr.
Wilson. Conservative candidates have been officially advised to mention them
wherever possible in their speeches. (p. 3)
