Australia's Federal Elections Since Federation
Dates, Results, Prime Ministers, Opposition Leaders, Issues

From Australia's first Prime Minister, Edmund Barton, to John Howard, 'The First Century' tells - for the first time - of the men and the elections giving them power as Prime Ministers. It is the only reference book of its type published in Australia.

'The First Century' tells exactly what happened at each of the 39 elections since Australia was federated in 1902, and profiles each of the 25 Prime Ministers and important Opposition Leaders. This book examines all the election conflicts, issues and events over Australia's first century, complete with panels of statistical information.

For example, there is a detailed account of how Bob Menzies used the "Reds Under the Bed" scare to keep the Australian Labor Party at bay in 1951 and how the Liberal-National coalition won power after blocking government supply in the 1975 "Dismissal". 'The First Century' is a complete chronological guide to all Australian Federal elections.
