Well odds are saying, get stuffed because I'm pretty sure there'll be a new name on this list, we just don't know who....

Did anyone else get passed whitlam and go, who on earth was PM before the 70s? I only knew Holt and Curtin because of stories about them.

Well, Turnbull managed to scrape in. But at the rate we're going there will be a new name some time soon. Before the 70s I knew only Barton, Menzies, Holt and Hughes because we learnt about him at school when we did WWI.

There are two mistakes: Hawke and Keating were Labor, and the Australian Labor Party spells its name without a U.

The Australian Labor Party was influenced by the labour movement in the US rather than by the British Labour Party, and the party adopted the US spelling as a result. Otherwise the word is spelt "labour" in all other uses in Australian English.

For all those who think Rudd, Gillard, Rudd is confusing, at least it isn't Deakin, Watson, Reid, Deakin, Fisher, Deakin, Fisher, Cook, Fisher.

Billy Hughes was the leader of the Labor party, which then splintered to form the National Labor Party, which then merged with the Commonwealth Liberal party to form the Nationalist party.

So while he was PM he was the leader of 3 parties.

Why are the two Australian parties the Liberal party and the Labor party? I know at least in Britain, the Labor party is the liberal party.

Economic liberalism although it's pretty much just corporatism now, not the American meaning of the word.

The Labor Party was started by trade unions in the 1890s. The Liberal Party formed in the 1940s, and was named after an older party that upheld traditional liberal ideals, including tariff protection, intended to protect local industry.

The Liberal Party in Australia has been the more conservative of the two major parties for a really long time and it's name has been a misnomer for most if not all of that time.

It's not a misnomer, unless you use the American definition of the word "liberal".

OED defines liberal as a person who understands and respects other people's opinions and behaviour, especially when they are different from their own. The Liberal Party of Australia's policies on gay marriage and religious freedom do not match this definition, hence misnomer.

Andrew Fisher was only ever a Labor PM. Billy Hughes led Labor, then National Labor, then Nationalist parties as PM. The Protectionist Party was dissolved in 1909, before Hughes took office.
