Progressive Party (Australia)
- Progressive Party (Australia)
The Progressive Party was an Australian political party, active in New South Wales state politics. It emerged after federation in 1901, which spurred the development of political parties in states which had previously been non-partisan. With the arrival of the Liberal Reform Party at approximately the same time, it created a two-party system that characterised the first decade of the twentieth century in the state. [ [http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/web/common.nsf/key/HistoryEarlyFederalPeriod 1901 to 1918 - The Early Federal Period and the First World War] ] It died out about 1907.
In 1919, the Farmers' and Settlers' Association and the Graziers' Association founded a new Progressive Party, which won metropolitan and rural seats in the 1920 election. [cite web
