John Curtin, elected member for Fremantle in 1928 became Prime Minister of Australia in 1941 when two independent members switched their support and enabled the Labor Party to form government.

I noted this statue situated outside the Fremantle Town Hall when I once visited the area and when I returned, I made a point of visiting it to obtain a photo. However, to my delight, I saw that some wag had since placed a puppet on the sheaf of papers he was brandishing. Comic relief was injected into the earnest moment being portrayed! (I doubt that the little fellow was allowed to stay long.)

I have tried (not as successfully as I would like) to soften the background so the foreground image is stronger and have had to highlight some elements of the statue that were otherwise quite dark.
