Fuller ministry (1921)


The Fuller ministry or First Fuller ministry was the 39th ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 22nd Premier, the Honourable Sir George Fuller KCMG, MLA. This ministry is the shortest of any ministry in the history of self-government in the state, lasting just seven hours.
Fuller was first elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1889, defeated in 1894, elected to the House of Representatives in 1901, defeated in 1914, and re-elected to the Assembly in 1917 and serving until 1928. Following the death of John Story, Fuller defeated James Dooley's government on a motion of no confidence and as a result was asked by Governor Sir Walter Davidson to form a government.
The ministry covers just seven hours during 20 December 1921 when Fuller lost the confidence of the Assembly, and Dooley reformed Government.
