Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

One of our Prime Ministers had a post-political career with a major service organisation.
Who was it, and what organisation?

Next question should be;
How many dollars from the donations was used by this organisation for Admin Costs ?

I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

The one I’m after was much earlier than those two.
Among our first half-dozen PMs.
Unclear from my reference source if he actually founded the organisation or just became its first Chairman.
And I didn’t specify that it’s a charitable organisation... just a SERVICE organisation.

I will take a stab at Billy Hughes and the RSL, but I don't think it was called that immediately after WW1.
