Arthur Fadden

Arthur Fadden was an Australian politician who became the Prime Minister of Australia for a brief period in 1941. He was a member of the Country Party and served as Treasurer before assuming the prime ministership during a challenging time marked by World War II. His government was known for facing economic difficulties and political instability. Fadden's leadership lasted only about 39 days, making his term one of the shortest in Australian history. He later served in various roles, including as a prominent member of the House of Representatives and continued to influence Australian politics until his retirement.
