Abstract
The object of this thesis is to throw some light upon Australian party leadership in office. The
position is examined in times of crisis in order to illustrate
the tactics available to, and factors affecting, any First Minister, in his efforts to remain both
Government and party leader.
The thesis is based upon fourteen case studies
of a variety of crises at both Federal arid State levels between the two world wars. The
studies are arranged in party groups, since the First Minister's relations with various sections of
his party proved particularly important in the analysis, and it enabled each group
to be introduced by an outline of the party's relevant rules, traditions and organisation.
