 Sir Arthur William Fadden
Fadden, as a Country Party member, supported Page and often referred to Menzies in the earthy language of the canefields.
Fadden then became Minister for Air and Civil Aviation and continued to serve under Menzies during the period when Labor was fast regaining strength, and the UAP-Country Party coalition was under constant attack from inside and outside.
Fadden, elected leader of the Country Party in March 1941, was Deputy Prime Minister when coalition in-fighting forced Menzies to throw in the sponge in August.

Arthur Phillip, a captain in the Navy, was selected to be the first Governor of New South Wales, the limits of which were stated by his commission to extend from Cape York to the southern extremity of the country, and westward as far as the 135th degree of longitude.
It was a great misfortune that this period of military rule occurred; because in the course of it the colony was brought to degradation by drink, corruption, and general iniquity, which required years to mitigate.
