The Second
McDonald Ministry was the
58th ministry of the Government
of Victoria, which consisted of members
of the Country
Party. It was led by the Premier
of Victoria, John
McDonald, and Deputy
Premier Keith
Dodgshun.
The ministry was
formed when the Governor
of Victoria, Sir
Dallas Brooks, asked McDonald to form an
interim government after dismissing the ministry of Thomas
Hollway's electoral reform group which
had been in government for just seventy hours, and
calling an election. McDonald's government was
also short-lived, lasting 47 days (31 October to
17 December 1952) until it was defeated at the state
election in December by
the Labor
Party under John Cain.
