According to this page (plus Robert Menzies and United Australia Party) two independents had kept the Coalition in power until they pulled the plug over the treatment of Menzies. However Australian federal election, 1940 shows the Coalition winning 37 seats to Labor's 32, Non-Communist Labor Party's 4 and Independents 1. Was the second independent elected in a by-election, a defector from another party or what? And who were the two indies? Timrollpickering ( talk) 23:59, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Revisiting this. The current para (which I've just amended) says:
Gavin Souter's book Acts of Parliament goes into the episode in some detail, but makes no reference to their disgust over Menzies. On 1 October, Curtin moved an amendment reducing the Estimates bill by £1, a symbolic act but one that could not be ignored. Souter says that Coles' alienation from the government had been aggravated by Fadden's failure to find a place for him in the new ministry, and Wilson spent the weeked at Doc Evatt's house being cultivated by him. On 3 October, in parliament, Coles said that he had decided to vote against the government on Curtin's motion. Fadden suggested this was because he had not been given a ministry, but Coles called this "a deliberate untruth", and later "a lie". He explained that what he had said to Fadden privately was that Fadden could not regard him as a supporter of the government "unless I am satisfied with the policy of your government and the membership of your Cabinet. I am not seeking any preferment for myself". Whatever their reasons were, Coles and Wilson voted for Curtin's amendment, the numbers fell 36-33, and the government had no choice but to resign. Technically, all over the princely sum of £1. I'd like to put something about this in the article, but if we can find some cite for their pre-existing disgust over Menzies, that would help complete the picture. -- JackofOz ( talk) 06:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
