John Curtin

John Curtin, often hailed as Australia's greatest prime minister, triumphed over personal struggles and political challenges to lead the Labor Party to victory. After narrowly securing the leadership in 1935, he united the party following significant losses in previous elections. As a wartime Leader of the Opposition, Curtin played a crucial role in establishing an Advisory War Council, facilitating collaboration between the Coalition and Labor governments amidst a divided House of Representatives, ultimately positioning the party for future success.
