- Francis Michael Forde (18 July 1890 – 28 January 1983) was an Australian politician and the 15th Prime Minister of Australia. He was the shortest serving Prime Minister in Australia's history, being in office for a mere 8 days. Born at Mitchell, Queensland (where his father was a grazier), Forde was educated at St Mary's College Toowoomba Catholic school and became a teacher. Settling in Rockhampton, he became active in the Labor Party and in workers' education groups. In 1917 he was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as Labor MP for Rockhampton. In 1922 he resigned and was elected to the Australian House of Representatives for Capricornia. Forde soon advanced in the Labor ranks. When Labor won the 1929 election, he became Assistant Minister for Trade and Customs in the Scullin government. In the last days of the government he became Minister for Trade and Customs. As one of the few senior Labor MPs to survive defeat at the 1931 election, Forde became Deputy Opposition Leader in 1932. He remains the only Federal Deputy Leader of the ALP to have come from Queensland. When Scullin retired in 1935, Forde contested the leadership ballot but was defeated by one vote by John Curtin, mainly because he had supported Scullin's economic policies. Forde was a loyal deputy, and in 1941 when Labor returned to power he became Minister for the Army, a vital role in wartime. On 5 July 1945 Curtin died; as Deputy Leader, Forde was sworn in by the Governor-General as Prime Minister on 6 July. At the leadership ballot on 13 July, he contested the leadership with Ben Chifley and Norman Makin. Chifley won, but Forde was elected Deputy Leader once more. As Minister for Defence he was much criticised for the slowness with which Army personnel were being demobilised. As a result, he lost his seat at the 1946 election, though the Labor Party itself comfortably retained office. Chifley appointed Forde High Commissioner to Canada, and he held this position until 1953. He returned to Australia and tried to re-enter Parliament at the 1954 election, in the seat of Wide Bay, but without success. In 1955, at a by-election, he returned to the Queensland Parliament as MP for Flinders. (He is the only former Prime Minister, and the only Privy Councillor since Federation, to have served in a State Parliament. ) However, in 1957 the Labor Party split resulted not only in Labor falling from power, but in Forde being defeated in his own electorate after a disputed and re-run election - he lost by only one vote. Save for this blow, he would probably have become Labor leader in Queensland, given that Premier Vince Gair and most of Gair's followers had been expelled from the party. Forde retired to Brisbane where he devoted himself to Catholic charity work. In his living room hung a large portrait of wartime U.S. General Douglas MacArthur. On 11 April 1964, at the request of the Prime Minister Robert Menzies, Forde represented Australia at Macarthur’s funeral in Arlington, Virginia. He died in 1983. His funeral was held on 3 February, the same day that Bob Hawke was elected ALP leader. Indeed, it was at Forde's funeral that Senator John Button told then Labor leader Bill Hayden that he must step aside in favour of Hawke, which he did. The shortest-serving prime minister in Australian history - his term of office lasted only eight days - Forde was previously the longest-lived Australian prime minister (living &-1-1-10000000000092.00000092 years, &-1-100000000000194.000000194 days), until he was surpassed by Gough Whitlam on 22nd of January 2009. His feat in serving as deputy leader under three ALP leaders (Scullin, Curtin and Chifley) was one that would not be repeated by anyone else until Jenny Macklin. The electoral Division of Forde and the Canberra suburb of Forde are named after him.
- Francis Michael Forde oder kurz Frank Forde war ein australischer Politiker und Premierminister Australiens von 6. Juli 1945 bis zum 13. Juli 1945. Forde war das Kind irischer Einwanderer. Er besuchte des Christian Brothers College in Toowoomba. Nach seiner Ausbildung arbeitete er dort als Lehrer, später als Postmeister und Telegraphist. Nebenbei bildete er sich zum Elektroingenieur weiter. Er schloss sich der lokalen ALP (Australian Labor Party) in Rockhampton an und gewann 1917 einen Sitz im Stadtparlament, den er die nächsten 5 Jahre behielt. 1922 trat er zurück um für den Bundessitz für Capricornia zu kandidieren. Er gewann die Wahl und behielt diesen Sitz 24 Jahre lang bis 1946. 1931 wurde er Minister für Zollangelegenheiten unter James Scullin und ab 1932 führender Abgeordneter der Opposition. Von 1940 bis 1945 war Forde Kriegsminister und von 1941 bis 1946 Vizepremierminister. In dieser Eigenschaft wurde er nach dem Tod von Premierminister John Curtin selbst Premierminister für 7 Tage, bis die nationale ALP Ben Chifley zum neuen Premierminister wählte. 1946 wurde er zum Hochkommissar für Kanada ernannt. Er behielt diesen Posten bis 1953.
- Francis Michael Forde était un homme politique australien qui fut le quinzième Premier Ministre d'Australie. Il a la particularité d'être le premier ministre australien qui vécut le plus longtemps et celui qui a exercé pendant le temps le plus court (1 semaine) les fonctions de Premier Ministre. Né à Mitchell où son père élevait du bétail, Force devint instituteur à la fin de ses études. Il s'installa à Rockhampton où il devint membre actif du parti travailliste et des volontaires pour l'éducation des travailleurs. En 1917, il fut élu député de Rockhampton à l'assemblée du Queensland. Il démissionna en 1922 pour être élu député au parlement fédéral pour la circonscription de Capricorne. Forde avança rapidement dans les rangs du parti travailliste. Quand le parti gagna les élections de 1929, il devint Secrétaire d'état au commerce et aux douanes dans le gouvernement Scullin et dans les derniers jours du gouvernement, il fut élevé au rang de Ministre. Il fut l'un des rares députés travaillistes à conserver son siège aux élections de 1931 et il devint vice-premier ministre du gouvernement d'opposition en 1932. Il est encore à l'heure actuelle le seul député du Queensland à avoir été le second du parti travailliste au parlement fédéral. Quand Scullin démissionna en 1935, Forde présenta sa candidature au poste de chef du parti mais il fut battu d'une voix par John Curtin, défaite due surtout à son soutien à la politique économique de Scullin. Forde resta fidèle à son parti et en 1941 quand le parti travailliste revint au pouvoir, il fut nommé Ministre des Armées, un poste primordial en cette période de guerre. En 1945, Curtin mourut et Forde, qui était le second du parti fut nommé Premier Ministre par le Gouverneur général le 6 juillet. Cependant son poste de chef de parti lui fut contesté par Ben Chifley et Norman Makin. Chifley l'emporta et Forde quitta son poste le 13 juillet. Il continua cependant à occuper d'importantes fonctions politiques comme vice premier Ministre ou comme Ministre de la Défense. Dans ce dernier rôle, il fut très critiqué pour la lenteur avec laquelle les militaires étaient démobilisés après la guerre. Cela eut pour conséquence qu'il perdit son poste de député aux élections de 1946 bien que le parti travailliste l'ait emporté largement. Chifley nomma Forde "High Commissioner" ("ambassadeur") au Canada, poste qu'il occupa jusqu'en 1953. Il revint en Australie et essaya d'être réélu député aux élections de 1954 mais il fut à nouveau battu. En 1955 il revint au Parlement du Queensland après avoir été élu à Flinders. En 1957, le parti travailliste perdit la majorité au Queensland et Forde lui-même fut battu. Forde se retira alors de la vie politique et s'installa à Brisbane où il s'occupa d'œuvres de charité. Il mourut en 1983.
- Figlio di un allevatore, conseguì una solida formazione cattolica frequentando la scuola confessionale. Al termine degli studi diventò un insegnante. Trasferitosi a Rockhampton divenne un attivista nel Partito Laburista e nei gruppi dediti all'educazione dei lavoratori. Nel 1917 fu eletto nelle file laburiste all'assemblea legislativa del Queensland e nel 1922 riuscì a conquistare un seggio alla camera federale. Frank Forde fece carriera nei ranghi laburisti e quando nel 1929 i laburisti vinsero le elezioni divenne assistente del Ministro del Commercio e delle dogane nel governo di Scullin; negli ultimi giorni di vita del governo riuscì a guidare il suo ministero. Trovandosi ad essere uno dei pochi leader sopravvissuti alla disastrosa sconfitta elettorale del 1931, l'anno successivo divenne il vice capo dell'opposizione. Egli fu l'unico vice capo dell'opposizione federale a provenire dal Queensland. Quando nel 1935 Scullin presentò le dimissioni, Forde partecipò alle primarie laburiste venendo sconfitto da John Curtin per un solo voto. L'ala sinistra del partito gli rimproverava la sua adesione alla politica economica del governo Scullin. Forde fu un leale vice capo del partito, e nel 1941 quando i Laburisti tornarono al potere divenne ministro dell'esercito, carica vitale in tempo di guerra. Nel 1945 Curtin morì, e come vice leader il 6 luglio di quell'anno Forde fu nominato primo ministro dal Governatore Generale, ma fu nuovamente sconfitto nelle primarie del partito laburista che scelse come proprio leader Ben Chifley. Il 13 luglio 1945, dopo solo sei giorni dal suo insediamento, Forde si dimise da premier, ma come vice premier conservò un ruolo politico di rilievo e assunse la guida del dicastero della difesa, divenendo impopolare per la lenta smobilitazione delle truppe. Per questa ragione Forde perse il suo seggio nelle elezioni del 1946 che confermarono con largo margine i laburisti al governo. Chifley nominò Forde alto commissario (ambasciatore) in Canada, carica che esercitò sino al 1953. Tornato in Australia nel 1954 cercò senza successo di rientrare in parlamento. Nel 1955 riuscì a farsi eleggere nel parlamento statale del Queensland. (Forde è stato il solo ex premier federale ad aver servito in un parlamento statale). La spaccatura prodottasi nel partito laburista nel Queensland sboccò non solo nella perdita del potere ma anche nella personale sconfitta di Forde. Se fosse riuscito a parare il colpo Forde sarebbe divenuto il leader Laburista del Queensland, visto che il Premier Vince Gair insieme con la maggioranza dei suoi seguaci fu espulsa dal partito. Forde si ritirò a Brisbane dedicandosi alle opere caritatevoli della Chiesa Cattolica. Morì a 93 anni nel 1983, per cause naturali. Forde è stato il premier che è rimasto meno tempo in carica, ma nella sua lunga carriera è stato il vice di tre leader laburisti (Scullin, Curtin e Chifley).

Rok później próbował zostać ponownie wybranym do parlamentu Australii, ale tym razem bez powodzenia. W 1955 został wybrany do parlamentu Queenslandu. Po rozpadzie partii laburzystowskiej na dwie mniejsze partie w 1957 stracił miejscie w parlamencie.

Родился в Митчелле, Квинсленд в семье скотовода, Форд получил образование в католической школе Сент-Мэри Колледж Тувумба и стал учителем. Поселившись в Рокхэмптоне, он вступил в лейбористскую партию и в группы образования рабочих. В 1917 он был избран в Законодательное собрание Квинсленда от лейбористской партии по округу Рокхэмптон. В 1922 он оставил этот пост и был избран в Палату представителей Австралии от округа Каприкорния. Вскоре Форд сделал карьеру в лейбористской партии. После победы лейбористов на выборах 1929 он стал заместителем министра торговли и таможен в правительстве Джеймса Скаллина. В последние дни кабинета он стал министром торговли и таможен. Будучи одним из старейших членов парламента от лейбористов он пережил поражение на выборах 1931 и стал заместителем лидера оппозиции 1932. Он остается единственным заместителем лидера ЛПА из Квинсленда. После отставки Скаллина в 1935, Форд выдвигался на пост партийного лидера, но проигралл один голос Джону Кёртину, в основном из-за того что он поддерживал экономическую политику Скаллина. Файл:FrankForde. jpg Портрет Фрэнка Форда Форд был верным заместителем, и в 1941 когда лейбористы вернулись к власти он стал министром обороны, жизненно важный пост во время войны. После того как 5 июля 1945 умер Кёртин, в качестве заместителя лидера партии Форд 6 июля принёс присягу генерал-губернатору в качестве нового премьер-министра. Но на выборах лидера партии 13 июля он уступил Бену Чифли и Норману Макину. Победил Чифли, а Форд снова был избран заместителем лидера партии. На посту министра обороны он подвергался сильной критике за медленные темпы демобилизации. В результате он потерял свой пост после выборов 1946, хотя лейбористы одержали убедительную победу.
