Quick Facts Date formed, Date dissolved ...

Lang was first elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1913 and served continuously until 1946. In 1923 Lang was elected NSW Parliamentary Leader of the Labor Party by Labor caucus, and became Opposition Leader. At the 1925 state election, Lang led Labor to victory, defeating the Nationalist Party led by Sir George Fuller.

Lang's initial ministry was confronted with extended cabinet strife, centred on Albert Willis. Lang resigned his commission on 26 May 1927.[1] As there was no viable alternative government, Governor Sir Dudley de Chair recommissioned Lang to form a caretaker government on the condition that he would recommend a dissolution of the Legislative Assembly and call an early election,[2] which was held in October 1927.[3]

This reconstructed ministry covers the Lang Labor period from 27 May 1927 until 18 October 1927[4] when Lang was defeated by a Nationalist/Country coalition led by Thomas Bavin and Ernest Buttenshaw.
