Australian Prime Ministers

Have a funny feeling John (Johnny) was either my uncle or my cousin. I think I remember my late dad, Bobby, talking about "our Johnny" being a good footballer. And we were (almost) all living on the Shankill in the 40s. Having said all that don't have any photographs of Johnny. But surely his immediate or closer family would have? Or does that category include you?

Interesting question anyway.

Bob Hawke's Australian Labor Party won 49.5% of the national primary vote on 5 March 1983, and 53.23% of the two-party preferred vote compared to 46.77% for the Fraser coaltion government.

There is no evidence to support this speculation.

As Prime-Minister

I suspect your firearm is a .38 S&W, not a .38 Special. The latter is more powerful and too much for an older .38 S&W revolver...so the .38 Special case was lengthened to avoid such a mistake. In the same way, the .38 Special case was lengthened to create the .357 Magnum in 1935. I have a small revolver I believe to be made by Howard Arms and found this site while researching my gun. I know nothing more at this time.

To allow many young people and, importantly, women, an opportunity to obtain a university degree and broaden their career choices.

Russia was associated with the Communist Party .

As in Vietnam, Australia was asked to by the US.

Julia Gillard is not married.

He wasn't a prime minister he was the premier of Western Australia from 23 February 1953 to 2 April 1959 which is 6 years and 38 days!

There is no Prime Minister since it's an American show. It's Mayor Joseph "Joe" Quimby or Nicknamed Diamond Joe.

Andrej Babis is the First Deputy Prime Minister for the Czech Republic.

He resigned because the only way he could maintain his hold on the primeministership was with the support of the labour party who insisted on legislation that he was not willing to support.

she did when she was younger, she quite 5 or so years back

There is no prime minister in Chile. Chile is a presidential republic. Currently the President is Michelle Bachelet member of the Socialist Party, part of the 'Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia' alliance. Mrs. Bachelet was elected on a run-off election on January 15, 2006 and took power on March 11, 2006. Her term finishes on March 11, 2010.

Of course you can! "Engaged" means that you are planning to marry someone. You can plan to re-marry even though you are married to someone else.

Answer:

Engagement is just a promise or statement of intent. It has no real legal standing or requirement. It would, however, be good to let the "intended" know that you're waiting for the divorce. If being engaged shows an intent to enter into a contract. Then (where polygamy is illegal) you are also showing wilful intent to breach your current contract of marriage to the person you are currently married to if you have not filed for divorce. I am sure this would have legal implications on financial settlements and child custody arrangements.

There are also etiquette questions about announcing an engagement before a divorce is final. It might be considered rather tacky to announce you are engaged to someone else while still married to a current spouse.

Very much so. In 1966, Menzies stated: "I subscribe to the domino theory ... because I believe it obvious ... that if the Vietnam War ends with some compromise that denies South Vietnam a real and protected independence, Laos and Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia will be vulnerable ... this domino theory ... has formidable reality to Australians who see the boundaries of aggressive communism coming closer and closer.'

George Reid was a strong advocate of free trade, and during the first Federal Convention in March 1891, he opposed Federation as, with the proposed policies as they stood, he believed Federation would force New South Wales to surrender its free trade policies.

Following this, whike he was Premier and Treasurer, he changed his mind and supported federation, even suggesting a second Federal Convention. He then drew attention to the draft Constitution's faults from a Free Trade perspective, which enabled it to be modified and improved.

I suspect he is rather attracted to Australia since he is the current Prime Minister of the Country. But maybe not. We have a President who seems to like Europe better than America.

Chris Watson was the third Prime Minister of Australia, serving from 27 April 1904 to 18 August 1904. He was a member of the Labor Party.
