This is probably always going to be a matter of contention - Australian Prime Ministers are arguably all equally famous (or alternatively, equally unknown), with the exception of perhaps Frank Forde who was Prime Minister for only one week.

The longest-serving Prime Minister of Australia was Sir Robert Menzies, who probably qualifies as one of the more well known ones. Others include Gough Whitlam (the first Labor Prime Minister in 23 years, who was dismissed in sensational circumstances), Alfred Deakin (a long-serving early Prime Minister who was also influential in the Federation movement), Billy Hughes (Prime Minister during World War I), John Curtin (Prime Minister during World War II), Malcolm Fraser, Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, and John Howard (all of whom were recent Prime Ministers, and each of whom is remembered for different contributions that they made to recent Australian history).
