Billy Hughes

While in Parliament he became secretary of the Wharf Labourer's Union. However Hughes was only a month shy of 78 and for this reason was deemed too old and frail to be a wartime Prime Minister. In a same-same deal Japan obtained control over its occupied German possessions north of the equator.

His prime ministership came to an end when the Nationalist party was forced to form a coalition with the Country Party who refused to serve under Hughes. He died in 1952 at age 90 while still serving in Parliament.
