In August 1941 Robert Menzies resigned as Prime Minister.

But the two independent MPs who were keeping the government in office were so disgusted at the way Menzies had been treated that they voted against Fadden's budget, and in October he resigned: Labor under John Curtin then took office. Fadden joked that he was like the Flood: he had "reigned for 40 days and 40 nights". For other uses, see 1941 (disambiguation). ...
