	Robert Gordon Menzies
		In 1928, Robert Menzies was elected to the Victorian Parliament, representing the Nationalist Party.
		The government was a coalition of the United Australia Party and the Country Party.
		He recalled Australian troops from the European theatre to defend Australia in the Pacific, much against the wishes of the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, who argued that Australia was expendable and the priority of the entire British Empire should be to defend Britain.

	United Australia Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United Australia Party or UAP was an Australian political party that was the political successor to the Nationalist Party of Australia.
		The UAP was so bereft of leadership that it allowed the Country Party leader Arthur Fadden to become Prime Minister (although the Country Party was the smaller of the two conservative parties), while Robert Menzies remained UAP leader and a minister.
		The UAP was absorbed into the new Liberal Party of Australia (with Menzies as leader) at the founding of the latter organization on 31 August 1945.

	Liberal Party of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Commonwealth Liberal Party was a fusion of the non-Labor parties in 1909 in response to Labor's growing electoral prominence.
		Throughout their history, the Liberals have been the party of the middle class (whom Menzies, in the era of the party's formation called "the forgotten people"), though such class-based voting patterns are no longer as clear as they once were.
		The Liberal Party's organisation is dominated by the six state divisions, reflecting the party's original commitment to a federalised system of government (a commitment which was strongly maintained by all Liberal governments until 1983, but has been to a large extent abandoned by the Howard government, which has shown strong centralising tendencies).
