Best Answer

Although there were three in 1941, there were a total of five during the war.

Menzies, Robert Gordon, 26 April 1939 to 29 Aug 1941, United Australia party

Fadden, Arthur W., 29 Aug 1941 to 7 Oct 1941, Country party

Curtin, John J., 7 Oct 1941 to 5 July 1945, Labour party

Forde, Francis M., 6 July 1945 to 13 July 1945, Labour party

Chifley, J. Ben, 13 July 1945 to 19 Dec 1949, Labour party

When Menzies resigned, his coalition partner Fadden took over.

However, government depended upon the support of two independents. When they voted against Fadden's budget, the government collapsed and Curtin became the longest serving prime minister during the war.

When Curtin died, his deputy Forde was immediately appointed as an interim measure until the party could meet and elect a new leader, Chifley.
