The Rt. Hon. Joseph Cook was the first Australia's first conservative Party Prime Minister, although his party was a different organisation to the present conservative Party.
Cook became Prime Minister as a result of the conservative Party winning the 31 May 1913 election by one seat, although the party failed to win a majority in the senate. When the Justice Department twice refused to pass a government bill, Cook sought a double dissolution, but the Labor Party won the subsequent election in both houses.
