The Big Brother Movement was an organisation founded by Sir Richard Linton, a businessman and a Parliament member of Victoria of Australia, after the discussion with other business leaders during the preparation for the British Empire Exhibition. The organisation promoted the migration of young people from Britain to Australia since 1925. According to the scheme, the “parents” in Australia (the “Big Brother”) would provide support and advice to the “Little Brother” who migrated from Britain. This pamphlet was distributed at the Australia Section. It includes the lyrics of the song "For ever I Need You". Ilma Merska Barnes composed the song for this advertisement campaign.
