  • The 1922 Australian federal election was held in Australia on 16 December 1922. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives, and 19 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Nationalist Party, led by Prime Minister Billy Hughes lost its majority. However, the opposition Labor Party led by Matthew Charlton did not take office as the Nationalists sought a coalition with the fledgling Country Party led by Earle Page. The Country Party made Hughes's resignation the price for joining, and Hughes was replaced as Nationalist leader by Stanley Bruce. Future Prime Minister Frank Forde and future opposition leader John Latham both entered parliament at this election. At this election, Hughes as the sitting prime minister made his second seat transfer, in this case, from Bendigo to North Sydney.Hughes had held Bendigo since transferring there from West Sydney at the 1917 election also as the sitting prime minister. Hughes remains the only sitting Prime Minister to transfer to another seat, not once but twice. Aside from the 1917 and 1922 elections, all other elections have seen the sitting prime minister recontest the seat that they held prior to the election. (en)

Les Nationalistes avec Billy Hugues à sa tête perdent la majorité, mais les Travaillistes ne l'obtiennent pas non plus : les Nationalistes forment une coalition avec le nouveau parti National (en anglais : "Country", à ne pas confondre avec le parti Nationaliste) dirigé par Earle Page. Le parti National a fait de la démission de Hughes le prix de son adhésion à la coalition, et Hughes a été remplacé comme chef du parti par Stanley Bruce, qui devient le 8e Premier ministre d'Australie. * Portail de la politique * Portail de l’Australie * Portail des années 1920 (fr)
