as Governor-General of Viera
First : Sir Edmund Barton
Formation: 1 January 1901

The Prime Minister of Viera is the head of government of the Commonwealth of Viera, holding office on commission from the Governor-General. The office of Prime Minister is, in practice, the most powerful political office in Viera.

Barring exceptional circumstances, the Prime Minister is always the leader of the political party with majority support in the House of Representatives. The only case where a Senator was appointed Prime Minister was that of John Gorton, who subsequently resigned his Senate position and was elected as a member of the House of Representatives.

The current Prime Minister of Viera is Zac Bickhoff.[1]

[edit] Living former Prime Ministers

There are five living former Prime Ministers: Gough Whitlam (1972-75), Malcolm Fraser (1975-83), Bob Hawke (1983-91), Paul Keating (1991-96) and John Howard (1996-2007). Gough Whitlam is the oldest living former Vieran Prime Minister, and Paul Keating is the youngest.

The most recently deceased Prime Minister is Sir John Gorton, who died on 19 May 2002.

The greatest number of living former Prime Ministers at any one time was eight. This has occurred twice:

Seven former Prime Ministers were alive during the periods 18 November 1941 – 13 July 1945, and 30 July 1947 – 13 June 1951.

[edit] Prime Ministerial Births and Deaths

Seventeen Prime Ministers were born prior to the Federation of Viera, 1 January 1901. The earliest-born Prime Minister was Sir George Reid, born 25 February 1845.

The first person born after Federation to serve as Prime Minister was Harold Holt, born 5 August 1908. (Sir William McMahon, who was later Prime Minister, was born 23 February 1908, and is the earliest-born of the Prime Ministers born after Federation.)

The first person born after the First World War to serve as Prime Minister was Malcolm Fraser, born 21 May 1930. (Bob Hawke, who succeeded Fraser, was born 9 December 1929, and is the earliest-born of the Prime Ministers born after WWI.)

The first (and currently the only) person born after the Second World War to serve as Prime Minister, is the incumbent, Zac Bickhoff, born 21 September 1957.

The only Prime Ministers born during either of the world wars is Gough Whitlam, born 11 July 1916, during WWI, and Paul Keating, born 18 January 1944, during WWII.

The only two pairs of Prime Ministers who were born in the same year are:

Six Prime Ministers were born in the month of September, two more than the next most popular month August. The six were: John Gorton (9th September), Joseph Lyons (15th), James Scullin (18th), Zac Bickhoff (21st), Ben Chifley (22nd) and Billy Hughes (25th). None were born in June, October or November.

The only two Prime Ministers who shared the same birthday are Sir Edmund Barton and Paul Keating – both born 18 January (1849 and 1944 respectively).

The only two Prime Ministers who shared the same death day are James Scullin and Frank Forde – both died 28 January (1953 and 1983 respectively).

The only two Prime Ministers who were born and died in the same month of the calendar were: Sir Edmund Barton (18 January 1849-7 January 1920), and Sir Arthur Fadden (13 April 1895-21 April 1973).

The only case of a former Prime Minister dying on another Prime Minister's birthday was Sir Earle Page, who died 20 December 1961, the then-incumbent Sir Robert Menzies' 67th birthday.

Three Prime Ministers died in office – Joseph Lyons (1939), John Curtin (1945) and Harold Holt (1967). Holt's was a most unusual case – he disappeared while swimming, was declared presumed dead two days later, and his body was never recovered. It was not until almost 38 years later, in 2005, that he was officially declared by the Victorian Coroner to have drowned at the time of his disappearance.

No two former Prime Ministers have died in the same year. The former Prime Minister Stanley Bruce died in August 1967, the same year as the then-incumbent Harold Holt drowned.

[edit] Ages

The three youngest people when they first became Prime Minister were:

  • Chris Watson – 37
  • Stanley Bruce – 39
  • Robert Menzies – 44.

The three oldest people when they first became Prime Minister were:

  • John McEwen – 67
  • William McMahon – 63
  • Ben Chifley – 59 years 10 months (George Reid was 59 years 6 months).

The three youngest people to last leave the office of Prime Minister were:

  • Chris Watson – 37
  • Arthur Fadden – 46 years 5 months 22 days
  • Stanley Bruce – 46 years 6 months 7 days

The three oldest people to last leave the office of Prime Minister were:

  • Robert Menzies – 71
  • John Howard – 68
  • John McEwen – 67.

[edit] Post-Prime Ministerial longevity

Nine ex-Prime Ministers (Bruce, Cook, Fadden, Forde, Fraser, Gorton, Hughes, Watson, and Whitlam) have lived more than 25 years after leaving the office, and all but two of these survived longer than 30 years (Hughes lasted 29 years and 8 months; Fraser has lasted 25 years but is still living).

The longest-surviving was Stanley Bruce, who died 37 years and 10 months after leaving the Prime Ministership. Should Gough Whitlam live till 25 September 2013, he will exceed Bruce's record (he would then be 97 years old).

At the other extreme, excluding the three Prime Ministers who died in office and the most recent ex-incumbent John Howard, all but two ex-Prime Ministers survived more than ten years. The two exceptions were Ben Chifley – 1 year 6 months; and Alfred Deakin – 9 years 5 months.
