Australian federal election, 1931

__TOC__

Issues

The election was dominated by the Great Depression in Australia, which was at its height. As the Labor Government had come to office two days before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, it was seen as being responsible for many of the economic and social problems Australia faced. Lang Labor also split from the Labor Party, the result was Labor's vote dropping to its lowest level since 1901.
