First Holder ministry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The First Holder ministry was the 38th ministry of the Government of South Australia. It commenced on 21 June 1892, when Frederick Holder succeeded in forming a government after the second Playford ministry lost a confidence vote in parliament. It was succeeded by the second Downer ministry on 15 October 1892, after Holder himself lost a confidence vote. Lasting for only 116 days, it was one of the shortest ministries in South Australia.[1][2][3]
