Re: Australian Trivia Only
Mr Google has not yet given anyone the answer...
Time to look elsewhere, I suspect.
Consult your local library! Oh, I forgot. Most of them are closed for Christmas/New Year.
Anyone care to hazard a guess? Hhhmmmm??
HINT: He was not born in the 20th Century.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Ray, it looks like it is only you and I playing at the mo'.
I believe the answer is Stanley Bruce. I look forward to locating and reading his biography. He and his brothers certainly weren't under achievers, at least not in the same vein as some of our later ones.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
SPOT ON, DAVID!
Stanley Melbourne Bruce is the man. Spent more time in the UK than in Oz after being elected, and Parliament rarely sat.
He governed by Executive fiat... much like the soon-to-be-ex-prez of the Disunited States, actually.
Was made 1st Viscount Bruce of Melbourne, and sat in the British House of Lords.
Three sources: http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/bruce-s ... ourne-5400 (Australian Dictionary of Biography, ANU)
Australian Prime Ministers, (ed) Michelle Grattan
The Good, The Bad and The Unlikely, by Mungo McCallum
Official details from ANU & Michelle, juicy bits from Mungo.
Side note: He was born in Toorak, but his father apparently decided that 'Stanley Toorak Bruce' was going a bit too far...
YOUR TURN DAVID...
