John Curtin was an Australian politician who served as the 14th Prime Minister of Australia, in office from 1941 to his death in 1945. He was the Leader of the Labor Party from 1935 to 1945. Having first formed a minority government in 1941, Curtin led Labor to victory at the 1943 election, which remains Labor's greatest victory in a federal election . As the Member for Fremantle, Curtin was the first and to date the only prime minister to represent an electorate outside the Eastern states.
