List of ministers for defence

There was a Minister for Defence from 1 January 1901 until 13 November 1939, with the exception of two small breaks. Robert Menzies, the Prime Minister, abolished the position on the outbreak of World War II and created separate Ministers for the Navy, the Army and the Air, with himself as Minister for Defence Coordination in his first ministry. He retained this position until the fall of his government, and then held the post in the brief government of Arthur Fadden. John Curtin initially followed the same arrangement as Menzies in his ministry until 14 April 1942, when he took the title of Minister for Defence. The separate titles of Ministers for the Navy, the Army and the Air were abolished in the second Whitlam Ministry on 30 November 1973, when the separate departments of Navy, Army and Air were also abolished. There had also been a separate Navy portfolio between 1915 and 1921.

Notes

^ ^a^b^c^d Although McBride served the longest continuously, Pearce had the longest combined service at more than 13 years, and as a member of four parties (Labor, National Labor, Nationalist, and UAP).

^ ^a^b The Liberal and National Labor parties approved a coalition agreement on 13 February 1917,^[2] and the new ministry was sworn on 17 February 1917.^[3] The parties co-ordinated their campaign against Labor at the 1917 election,^[4] and while there was some discussion of the two parties remaining separate,^[5] they formally merged on 13 June 1917.^[6]

^ The Parliamentary Handbook erroneously records Massy-Greene as Assistant Minister for Defence from 1921 to 1923. He was in fact the Minister for Defence.^[7] He retained responsibility for Health, which he had held as Minister for Trade and Customs,^[8] and was consequently titled Minister for Defence and Health.^[9]

^ ^a^b On 13 November 1939, early in the Second World War, Menzies divided the Defence portfolio into separate Army, Navy and Air portfolios and appointed himself Minister for Defence Coordination to oversee them.^[1] Curtin retained this arrangement, but he reverted to the title Minister for Defence on 21 September 1943.^[1]

^ The Parliamentary Handbook erroneously records that Ryrie ceased to be Assistant Minister for Defence, being replaced by Massy-Greene. In fact, Massy-Greene was appointed Minister for Defence, and Ryrie remained in post.^[9]^[10]

[Pearce-2] Although McBride served the longest continuously, Pearce had the longest combined service at more than 13 years, and as a member of four parties (Labor, National Labor, Nationalist, and UAP).

[Nationalists-8] The Liberal and National Labor parties approved a coalition agreement on 13 February 1917,^[2] and the new ministry was sworn on 17 February 1917.^[3] The parties co-ordinated their campaign against Labor at the 1917 election,^[4] and while there was some discussion of the two parties remaining separate,^[5] they formally merged on 13 June 1917.^[6]

[12] The Parliamentary Handbook erroneously records Massy-Greene as Assistant Minister for Defence from 1921 to 1923. He was in fact the Minister for Defence.^[7] He retained responsibility for Health, which he had held as Minister for Trade and Customs,^[8] and was consequently titled Minister for Defence and Health.^[9]

[DefenceCoordination-13] On 13 November 1939, early in the Second World War, Menzies divided the Defence portfolio into separate Army, Navy and Air portfolios and appointed himself Minister for Defence Coordination to oversee them.^[1] Curtin retained this arrangement, but he reverted to the title Minister for Defence on 21 September 1943.^[1]

[15] The Parliamentary Handbook erroneously records that Ryrie ceased to be Assistant Minister for Defence, being replaced by Massy-Greene. In fact, Massy-Greene was appointed Minister for Defence, and Ryrie remained in post.^[9]^[10]
