1 Unit 10: Prime Minister You! Australian Prime Ministers 12 Joseph Aloysius Lyons ( ) Prime Minister of Australia Joseph Aloysius Lyons was born at Circular Head near Stanley, Tasmania, on 15 September His father, Michael Lyons, had a butchery and bakery business, but lost it on account of bad health and then was forced to work as a labourer. His mother did much to keep the family of eight children together. By the time he was 12, Joseph had been an errand boy in a store, a boy in a newspaper office, and had done scrub-cutting and farm work. By the time he was 17, he had qualified as a teacher. In 1909 he resigned from teaching and was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly. There he fought successfully for the widening of educational facilities and the establishment of high schools in Tasmania. In April 1914 he became Treasurer, Minister for Railways and for Education. The following year, Lyons married Enid Burnell, an 18-year old teacher. In 1923, he became Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Railways in Tasmania, but his ministry was defeated in The next year Lyons was elected into the Federal Labor Government of Prime Minister James Scullin. On January 1931 Lyons resigned as a protest against the proposed return of Ted Theodore to the position of Treasurer. With a handful of colleagues and followers, Lyons formed the United Australia Party. At the election held in November 1931, the Labor Party was defeated, and Lyons formed a government, taking the positions of Prime Minister and Treasurer. On 7 April 1939, in Sydney, Lyons died suddenly of a heart attack. He was the first Australian Prime Minister to die in office. I m Bill Middling I grew up in the City and on The Land. My story is Australia s story. 98 Vote 1 for the Australian Future Party
2 Untitled speech on Federation, 1900 Sir Edmund Barton ( ), First Prime Minister of Australia On this day three weeks, Australia will begin her new career. In affairs which are national in their Australian range, she will act as one. In affairs which are national in the Imperial sense, she will act as a powerful unit of a mighty empire. In reality, she will take a new departure in each of these capacities; and in each, she must march with her responsibilities at the heels of her great opportunities. Let us then consider her advantages and her duties, first, as she stands in these seas by herself; and next, as she holds herself towards the Empire, with new strength and, as we all know, with unlessened loyalty. Ministerial Statement: Republics, 7 June, 1995 Paul Keating (1944 ), 24th Prime Minister of Australia We are approaching the 21st century and the centenary of our nationhood. As never before we are making our own way in our region and the world. For us the world is going and we are going in a way which makes our having the British monarch as our Head of State increasingly anomalous. The fact is that if the plans for our nationhood were being drawn up now, by this generation of Australians and not those of a century ago, it is beyond question that we would make our Head of State an Australian. Any suggestion that the British monarch would fill the role would not be entertained. This is not because our generation lacks respect for the British monarchy, or the British people, or our British heritage, or the British institutions we have made our own, or our long friendship with the British in peace and in war. On the contrary, Australians everywhere respect them, as they respect The Queen. But they are not Australian. It is so obvious, that if we were just now drawing up our constitution, we probably would not even feel the need to say that the Australian Head of State will be Australian it would go without saying. 99
