  Joseph Lyons
Lyons won the federal seat of Wilmot in 1929 and was immediately appointed as Postmaster- General.
Lyons was asked to form the new United Australia Party (U.A.P.), made up of members of the old Nationalist Party (which had collapsed after the 1929 elections) and some ex-Labor members.
Lyons was a pacifist and was anxious that Britain not enter a war against Germany, even though he was appalled by the Jewish pogroms.

  Joseph Lyons
Joseph Aloysius Lyons (September 15, 1879 - April 7, 1939) was the 10th Prime Minister of Australia from 1931 - 1939.
Abandoning the ALP (which subsequently tore itself apart), Lyons created a new party, the United Australia Party, which was based on Labor defectors, and former members of the conservative Nationalist party (which had collapsed in 1929, but itself was also based partly on Labor defectors).
Lyon's pacifist outlook (and his own support for the Appeasement effort), coupled with the conservative's traditional reliance on Britain for defence meant that Australia was ill-prepared for the outbreak of WWII, but Lyons would not live to see it, dying early in April of 1939.
