	James Scullin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Henry Scullin (pronounced: skoo-lin) (September 18, 1876–January 28, 1953), Australian politician and ninth Prime Minister of Australia, was born in the small town of Trawalla, in western Victoria, the son of a railway worker of Irish Catholic descent.
		Matters were made worse by Scullin's decision to travel to London to seek an emergency loan and to attend the Imperial Conference.
		With Scullin out of the country for the whole second half of 1930, Fenton (as Acting Prime Minister) and Lyons (as Acting Treasurer) were left in charge and insisted on pursuing deflationary policies, arousing great opposition in the Labor caucus.

	James Henry Scullin Biography / Biography of James Henry Scullin Biography
		James Scullin was born the son of a railway worker near Ballarat, Victoria.
		Scullin lacked ministerial experience when he became prime minister, and though he was a man of moderate views and was respected on all sides for his integrity, his modesty and gentleness ill matched the heavy burdens that were to fall on his shoulders.
		Because of the economic crisis, Scullin's government was obliged to repudiate election pledges and to assume responsibility for deflation, retrenchment, reduction in wages and the standard of living, and, at the end of 1931, a devaluation of the Australian pound in terms of sterling.

	Joseph Lyons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lyons served as acting Treasurer from August 1930 to January 1931 while Scullin was in Britain for the Imperial Conference.
		When Scullin returned in January 1931, he reappointed Theodore (as it had become clear Theodore would not be charged with corruption) to the Cabinet as Treasurer, which Lyons took as a rejection of his own policies.
		Accompanied by another senior minister in the Scullin government, James Fenton, and three other right-wing Labor MPs, he crossed the floor to sit on the opposition benches.
