Regierung Hughes III
Die Regierung Hughes III war die dreizehnte Regierung Australiens. Sie amtierte vom 17. Februar 1917 bis zum 10. Januar 1918. Alle Mitglieder der Regierung gehörten der National Party of Australia an.
Die Vorgängerregierung war eine Minderheitsregierung der National Labor Party (NLP) – einer Abspaltung der Wehrpflichtbefürworter der Labor Party – unter Premierminister Billy Hughes, die von der Liberal Party (LP) unterstützt wurde. Im Februar 1917 vereinigten sich die NLP und die LP zur Nationalist Party of Australia, die die dritte Regierung Hughes stellte. Bei der Parlamentswahl im Mai 1917 gewann die Nationalist Party eine absolute Mehrheit in Repräsentantenhaus und Senat.[1] Am 20. Dezember 1917 fand, wie schon im Oktober 1916, erneut eine Volksabstimmung über die Einführung der Wehrpflicht statt. Die Mehrheit gegen die Wehrpflicht war noch größer als bei der ersten Abstimmung. Premierminister Hughes trat, wie vor der Abstimmung im Fall einer Niederlage versprochen, am 8. Januar zurück, blieb aber Vorsitzender der Nationalist Party. Generalgouverneur Ronald Munro-Ferguson beauftragte daraufhin Hughes erneut mit der Bildung einer Regierung.[2][3]
