of the first Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of

Press for Australian Humanities Research Council,
1957. Monograph (Australian Humanities Research Council);
no. 1.
As
Australia's first Governor-General, Lord Hopetoun had
to appoint the first Prime Minister. Ill-advised, Hopetoun
chose Premier of New South Wales, William Lyne, who earlier
had opposed Federation. Consequently this selection became
known as the 'Hopetoun blunder' and after politicians'
protests, leading federationist Edmund Barton was appointed
the first Prime Minister. Hopetoun returned to England
after a difficult and expensive term of office. |
