The USA has "ask not what your country can do for you. but what can you do for your country" the grand old UK has "we shall fight them in the trenches, we shall fight them on the beaches but we shall NEVER surrender" and good old oz has "If any boss sacks a worker for not turning up today He is a bum"
the above speeches may not be verbatum, but it puts Australias political inspiration in context.
I don't know if it inspired a country, not even sure what he was rabbiting on about - but I love this speech.
the British government barring the release of medical records including post-mortem and other evidence on Dr Kelly for 70 years,this is the sort of thing that jfk was talking about.
part of jfk speech on secret societies,
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."

" Sun Arise "....Rolf Harris ???? 
" ADAM !! have this appppleeee " Eve B.C. 
Well it might seem trite to say so but imho Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is the very best of that genre.
It's poetry. The theme was reconciliation and common purpose, the expression short and clear.
More of a dialogue than a speech I guess.
Mr. Mackey: Now each battalion has a specific code-name and mission. Battalion 5, raise your hands!
[all the African American members put up their hands including Chef]
Mr. Mackey: You will be the all important first defense wave, which we will call "Operation Human Shield".
Chef: Hey, wait a minute...
Mr. Mackey: Now keep in mind, 'Operation Human Shield' will suffer heavy losses. But don't lose your spirit men! Stay until the bitter end. Battalion 14?
[all the White soldiers raise their hands]
Mr. Mackey: Right, you are 'Operation Get Behind The Darkies'. You will follow Battalion 5 here and try not to get killed for God's Sake. Are there any questions men?
[Chef raises his hand]
Mr. Mackey: Yes Soldier?
Chef: Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?
Mr. Mackey: I don't listen to hip-hop!
Chef: Hey!

For a genuine Australian speech which marked an important moment in our history we have:
"Well may we say God Save The Queen ... for nothing will save the Governer General".
"Please explain..........?" Pauline Hanson
enough said
maybe it didnt inspire many, other than the comedians
Check out some of John Curtain's speeches.
Just google em.
Wonderfully inspirering for those difficult times.
"The little desiccated coconut is under pressure and he is attacking anything he can get his hands on" - Paul Keating on John Howard.
Love him or loathe him his insults sometimes bordered on art.
