Who was the Australian Prime Minister in 1962?

Answer 1

Harold Holt of the Liberal Party was the Australian Prime Minister in 1967. He served from 26 January 1966 until 19 December 1967 (officially). On 17 December 1967, Holt went swimming at Cheviot Beach on Point Nepean near Portsea, on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne. After plunging into the notoriously rough surf, Holt disappeared. He was never seen again, and theories as to his fate have abounded since then. On 19 December 1967 John McEwen (later Sir John) was sworn in as caretaker Prime Minister, until John Grey Gorton gained office on 10 January 1968.

Answer 2

Robert Gordon Menzies (later Sir Robert) of the Australian Liberal Party, served as Prime Minister from 19 December 1949 until 26 January 1966. This was a period of 16 years, 1 month and 8 days, the longest term of any Australian Prime Minister before or since.
