ParlInfo - Part 6 - Historical information on the Australian Parliament : Ministries and Cabinets

The following lists show each ministry» and its term of office since 1901. The termination date of each «ministry» coincides with the date on which the Prime Ministers submitted their resignation, and that of each of their ministers, to the Governor-General.

In a number of instances, however, such resignations have been the occasion for the PrimeMinister of the day to ask the Governor-General for a commission to form a new «ministry» and thus remain in office. WM Hughes was the first Australian Prime Minister to follow this procedure, which he did on three separate occasions between 1915 and 1923.

With the swearing in of the Menzies «Ministry» on 11.1.1956, the practice was introduced whereby the Cabinet comprised some but not all members of the «ministry» . This practice was continued until the resignation of the McMahon «Ministry» on 5.12.1972.

When the Whitlam «Ministry» assumed office on 5.12.1972, all members of the «ministry» sat as members of the Cabinet, thus reverting to the original practice which existed prior to 1956.

With the swearing in of the Fraser «Ministry» on 22.12.1975, the practice was reintroduced whereby the Cabinet comprised some but not all members of the «ministry» . The practice has been continued by all subsequent ministries.
