Fuller ministry (1922–25)


The Fuller ministry or Second Fuller ministry was the 41st ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 22nd Premier, the Honourable Sir George Fuller KCMG, MLA. This ministry was the second of two occasions where Fuller was Premier.
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. However, the same day, Fuller also lost a motion of no confidence, and Davidson commissioned Dooley to form a second ministry that lasted until the 1922 state election when Fuller was successful in defeating Dooley.
The ministry covers the period from 13 April 1922 until 17 June 1925 when Fuller was defeated by Labor's Jack Lang at the 1925 state election.
