About Arthur Edward Moore

He was the only Queensland Premier not to come from the ranks of the Labor Party between 1915 and 1957. Although successful in achieving the unity of the conservative forces in Queensland for an extended period, Moore's abilities were tested by the onset of the Great Depression and like many other governments in Australia and elsewhere his was unable to endure the formidable challenges it posed. Moore kept the CPNP together as leader until the disastrous defeat of 1935, where it won sixteen out of 62 seats.
