The office of Deputy Prime Minister was created as a [[Minister (government)|ministerial]] portfolio in 1968. The [[Deputy Prime Minister]] is appointed by the [[Governor-General of Australia|Governor-General]] on the advice of the [[Prime Minister of Australia|Prime Minister]]. There is no current Deputy Prime Minister of Australia since 27th October 2017.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gg.gov.au/events/ministerial-swearing-ceremony-0 |title=Ministerial Swearing-in Ceremony |work=Events |publisher=[[Governor-General of Australia|Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia]] |date=18 February 2016 |accessdate=19 February 2016}}</ref> He is the Leader of the [[National Party of Australia|National Party]], which is the junior partner in [[Coalition (Australia)|a coalition]] with the [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberal Party]], led by [[Prime Minister of Australia|Prime Minister]] and Leader of the Liberal Party [[Malcolm Turnbull]]. ==History== Originally the position of deputy Prime Minister was an unofficial or honorary position. The unofficial position acquired more significance following the [[Australian federal election, 1922|1922 federal election]], which saw the governing [[Nationalist Party of Australia|Nationalist Party]] lose its parliamentary majority. The Nationalists eventually reached a [[Coalition (Australia)|coalition agreement]] with the [[National Party of Australia|Country Party]], which called for Country Party leader [[Earle Page]] to take the second rank in the Nationalist-led ministry of [[Stanley Bruce]]. While Page's only official title was Treasurer, he was considered as a deputy to Bruce.<ref>PrimeFacts: [http://static.moadoph.gov.au/ophgovau/media/images/apmc/docs/53-Deputy-PMs.pdf Deputy Prime Ministers of Australia]</ref> Until 1968 the term was used unofficially for the second-highest ranking minister in the government, especially while the Coalition was in government. Under the Coalition agreement between the [[Liberal Party of Australia|Liberals]] (and their predecessors) and Country Party, when in government, the position was held by the leader of the Country Party. That continues to be case when the Coalition is in government. In the case of Labor governments, the party's deputy leader was and continues to be the Deputy Prime Minister. On 19 December 1967, [[John McEwen]], the long-serving leader of the Country Party (later renamed the National Party) in the Coalition government, was sworn in as [[interim Prime Minister]] following the sudden death in office of Prime Minister [[Harold Holt]]. (There was discussion that deputy Liberal leader and Treasurer [[William McMahon]] should assume the office. McMahon had planned a party room meeting on 20 December to elect a new leader, intending to stand for the position himself. However, this was pre-empted by McEwen who publicly declared on the morning of 18 December that he would not serve in a McMahon government.) McEwen was sworn in as Prime Minister on the understanding that his commission would continue only so long as it took for the Liberals to elect a new leader. The Liberal leadership ballot was rescheduled for 9 January 1968. As it turned out, McMahon did not stand, and Senator [[John Gorton]] was elected, replacing McEwen as Prime Minister on 10 January 1968.<ref>http://primeministers.naa.gov.au/primeministers/mcmahon/before-office.aspx</ref> McEwen reverted to his previous status as the second-ranking member of the government, as per the Coalition agreement. He had unofficially been Deputy Prime Minister since becoming Country Party leader in 1958, and since 1966 had exercised an effective veto over government policy by virtue of being the longest-serving member of the government; he had been a member of the Coalition frontbench without interruption since 1937. To acknowledge McEwen's long service and his status as the second-ranking member of the government, Gorton formally created the post of Deputy Prime Minister, with McEwen as the first holder of the post. Governor-General [[Richard Casey, Baron Casey|Lord Casey]] also accepted the view put to him by McEwen that to commission a Liberal temporarily as Prime Minister would give that person an unfair advantage in the forthcoming party room ballot for the permanent leader. McEwen's appointment was in keeping with the previous occasion when the main non-Labor party was without a leader; [[Earle Page]] of the Country Party was interim Prime Minister between 7 and 26 April 1939—the period between [[Joseph Lyons]]' sudden death and the [[United Australia Party]] naming [[Robert Menzies]] his successor. Since 1968 only two Deputy Prime Ministers have gone on to become Prime Minister: [[Paul Keating]] and [[Julia Gillard]]. In both cases, they succeeded incumbent Prime Ministers who lost the support of their party caucus mid-term and their election as party leader preceded their predecessor's resignations and their subsequent appointments as Prime Minister. [[Frank Forde]], who had been deputy Labor leader when [[John Curtin]] died, was interim Prime Minister between 6 and 13 July 1945, when a leadership ballot took place that elected [[Ben Chifley]] as Curtin's successor. In November 2007, when the Australian Labor Party won government, Julia Gillard became Australia's first female, and first foreign-born, Deputy Prime Minister. In practice, only National party leaders or Labor Party deputy leaders have held the position. ==Duties== The duties of the Deputy Prime Minister are to act on behalf of the Prime Minister in his or her absence overseas or on leave. The Deputy Prime Minister has always been a member of the [[Cabinet of Australia|Cabinet]], and has always held at least one substantive portfolio. (It would be technically possible for a minister to hold only the portfolio of Deputy Prime Minister, but this has never happened.) If the Prime Minister were to die, become incapacitated or resign, the [[Governor-General of Australia|Governor-General]] would normally appoint the Deputy Prime Minister as Prime Minister on an interim basis until the governing party elects a new leader, but is not obligated to do so. This has not occurred since the office was created as a portfolio in 1968. ==List of Deputy Prime Ministers of Australia== The following individuals have been officially appointed as Deputy Prime Minister of Australia since the office of Deputy Prime Minister was created as a [[Minister (government)|ministerial]] portfolio in 1968:<ref name=parl>{{cite web |url=http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p;adv=yes;orderBy=customrank;page=2;query=Lazzarini;rec=12;resCount=Default |title=Ministries and Cabinets |work=43rd Parliamentary Handbook: Historical information on the Australian Parliament |publisher=[[Parliament of Australia]] |year=2010 |accessdate=9 July 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140813030853/http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display.w3p%3Badv%3Dyes%3BorderBy%3Dcustomrank%3Bpage%3D2%3Bquery%3DLazzarini%3Brec%3D12%3BresCount%3DDefault |archivedate=13 August 2014 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Deputy Prime Ministers of Australia |url=http://static.moadoph.gov.au/ophgovau/media/images/apmc/docs/53-Deputy-PMs.pdf |publisher=Museum of Australian Democracy |accessdate=27 July 2013 |format=PDF}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan="2" width="150" | Deputy Prime Minister ! colspan="2" width="75" | Party affiliation <br /><small>and position</small> ! width="400" | Ministerial title ! width="115" | Term start ! width="115" | Term end ! width="110" | Term in office ! colspan="2" width="75" | Prime Minister |- | [[John McEwen]] | [[Image:Sir John McEwen.jpg|60px]] | {{Australian party style|Nationals}} |&nbsp;
