Australian Prime Ministers

Australian Prime Ministers

Helen Irving
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The first 115 years of Australian nationhood has produced 29 prime ministers—a rich cast of characters diverse in personality, background, ability and achievement. From Edmund Barton to Malcolm Turnbull, they share a common drive for power.

Australian Prime Ministers was originally prepared to coincide with the Centenary of Australia's Federation in 2001. The subsequent years were marked by much drama. The Howard Government's 2007 defeat saw Labor's Kevin Rudd last less than one term; he was followed by Australia's first woman prime minister, Julia Gillard, who replaced him in a party coup. The 2010 election produced the first hung parliament since the 1940s; Gillard then headed a minority Labor government. Kevin Rudd return to the prime ministership in a counter-coup, but lost an election less than three months later to the Coalition, led by Tony Abbott. After two years in the job, Abbott was overthrown by Malcolm Turnbull, who only just scraped home at the 2016 election.
