'''John Douglas Anthony''' (31 December 1929{{spaced ndash}}20 December 2020) was an Australian politician. He served as leader of the [[National Party of Australia]]{{efn|name=name}} from 1971 to 1984 and was the second and longest-serving [[Deputy Prime Minister of Australia|deputy prime minister]], holding the position under [[John Gorton]] (1971), [[William McMahon]] (1971–1972) and [[Malcolm Fraser]] (1975–1983).

Anthony was born in [[Murwillumbah, New South Wales]], the son of federal government minister [[Hubert Lawrence Anthony]]. He was elected to the [[Australian House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] at [[1957 Richmond by-election|a 1957 by-election]], aged 27, following his father's sudden death. He was appointed to the ministry in 1964 and in [[Coalition (Australia)|Coalition]] governments over the following 20 years held the portfolios of [[Department of the Interior (1939–72)|Minister for the Interior]] (1964–1967), [[Department of Primary Industry (1956–74)|Primary Industry]] (1967–1971), [[Department of Trade and Industry (Australia)|Trade and Industry]] (1971–1972), [[Department of Overseas Trade (Australia)|Overseas Trade]] (1975–1977), [[Department of National Resources (Australia)|National Resources]] (1975–1977), and [[Department of Trade and Resources|Trade and Resources]] (1977–1983). Anthony was elected deputy leader of the Country Party in 1964 and succeeded [[John McEwen]] as party leader and deputy prime minister in 1971. He retired from politics at the [[1984 Australian federal election|1984 election]]. His son [[Larry Anthony]] became the third generation of his family to enter federal parliament.

===Minister for the Interior (1964–1967)===

During his tenure in the Interior portfolio, there were several pushes for [[Canberra]] to become independent and self-governing in some capacity.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/105838922?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Canberra Times, 18 August 1964]</ref> The Menzies government had not yet established a clear policy for Canberra's future, and Anthony stated that the city was not yet ready for self-governance. At [[Narrogin]] in August 1966, Anthony relayed to several rural communities that drought would probably soon sweep the region, and that he was prepared to take precautions to prevent as many negative effects as possible.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/201773461?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Beverley Times, 19 August 1966]</ref> He was unable to comment on protests that took place outside the Canberra Hotel on 2 February 1967.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/106960379?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Canberra Times, 3 February 1967]</ref>

Anthony was one of the leading forces against the [[1967 Australian referendum (Parliament)|1967 nexus referendum]], which was seeking to increase the Senate's power in parliament. Senator [[Vince Gair]] revived the debate around the introduction of such a law in early 1967. Anthony and the County Party decided it would be “unwise” to increase the power of the upper house.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/106964494?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Canberra Times, 28 February 1967]</ref>

Towards the end of his term as Minister for the Interior, Anthony supported a federal redistribution with conditions so restrictive that it favoured country seats and would increase Country Party representation. Splits within the Liberal and Country coalition were causing such issues to be raised and considered by parliament. These tensions were also fuelled by the narrow majority with which the Liberal Party was returned to power in the [[1963 Australian federal election|1963 election]]; without Country Party support they could not have guaranteed parliamentary supply.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/106976417?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Canberra Times, 12 September 1967]</ref> In 1967, he became [[Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (Australia)|Minister for Primary Industry]].<ref name="ABC"/><ref name=ph/>

===Minister for Primary Industry (1967–1971)===

His first speech in this portfolio was made regarding the wheat price in Australia. 1966–67 had yielded a smaller amount than the 1965–66 season, and accordingly the price of wheat had to be raised.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/201777537?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Beverley Times, 22 March 1968]</ref> Controversially, in May 1968, Anthony initiated a payout of $21&nbsp;million to offset the [[devaluation]] of the British Pound by Prime Minister [[Harold Wilson]]; the currencies were not yet independent of each other.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/201777817?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Beverley Times, 3 May 1968]</ref> Anthony's popularity in the Industry portfolio was damaged when rural production was down $450&nbsp;million in 1968 and little change had occurred in the return that farmers were getting for production.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/201778428?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Beverley Times, 2 August 1968]</ref> Anthony worked with Prime Minister [[John Gorton]] to try to create as many economically viable options as possible to deal with the “wheat crisis”. Eventually quotas were introduced to limit production.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/107088606?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Canberra Times, 15 April 1969]</ref>  When China stopped importing Australian wheat in 1971, Anthony advised against communication with the country, saying it could be “politically and commercially dangerous".<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/250268320?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, 11 June 1971]</ref>

===Deputy Prime Minister (1971–1972)===

[[File:Sinclair, Gorton and Anthony.jpg|thumb|right|Anthony with [[John Gorton]] and [[Ian Sinclair]] on 2 February 1971.]]

By mid-1969, it was thought that [[John McEwen]], leader of the Country Party since 1958, was going to retire sometime in late 1970. The three members of the party considered to have the greatest chance of succeeding McEwen as leader were Anthony, Shipping Minister [[Ian Sinclair]] and Interior Minister [[Peter Nixon]]. When McEwen retired in 1971, Anthony was chosen as his successor, taking McEwen's old posts of [[Minister for Trade (Australia)|Minister for Trade and Industry]] and [[Deputy Prime Minister of Australia|Deputy Prime Minister]] in the government of [[John Gorton]], portfolios he retained under [[William McMahon]].<ref name="Ministries and Cabinets"/> Anthony was made a member of the [[Privy Council of the United Kingdom]] by [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]] on 23 June 1971.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.leighrayment.com/pcouncil/pcouncil4.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080607022558/http://leighrayment.com/pcouncil/pcouncil4.htm |archive-date=7 June 2008 |title=Leigh Rayment: Privy Counsellors 1969–present |url-status=usurped |access-date=22 June 2009}}</ref>

When McMahon became Prime Minister in March 1971, only a month after Anthony had taken the Deputy Prime Minister position, Anthony lost power as McMahon disliked him and the two had a poor working relationship. Anthony opposed the revaluation of the Australian dollar by McMahon in 1971–72. In mid-1972, McMahon stopped talking to Anthony and he was oblivious to many decisions that were occurring outside cabinet. When McMahon announced the [[1972 Australian federal election|1972 election]], he left Anthony in the dark and he was unaware of the date on which it would take place and the campaign techniques the coalition would use. Anthony called the [[Prime Minister of New Zealand]], [[Jack Marshall]], to find out the date, as McMahon had only informed three people of the date before approaching the [[Governor-General of Australia]]. Anthony lost faith in the government and became complacent about the defeat which became obvious in the lead up to the election in December 1972.<ref>['''The Liberals''' (1994), Episode 2, Part 3 (1:17-3:20)</ref>

===Opposition (1972–1975)===
[[File:Doug Anthony 1974 (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Anthony in 1974.]]
After McMahon's defeat in [[1972 Australian federal election|1972]], Anthony was said to favour a policy of absolute opposition to the [[Australian Labor Party|Labor]] government of [[Gough Whitlam]]. Despite that, the Country Party voted with the Labor government on some bills, for example the 1973 expansion of state aid to under-privileged schools. Under Anthony's leadership, the party's name was changed to the National Country Party and it began contesting urban seats in [[Queensland]] and [[Western Australia]]. There was also a weakening in the party's relationship with primary producer organisations.<ref>{{cite news |title=Wriedt's approach worries Anthony |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/236920200 |access-date=2020-12-20 |work=Tribune |date=1975-12-03}}</ref> In 1975, Anthony, along with other senior Opposition members, criticised Whitlam for not giving enough aid to [[Papua New Guinea]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Attack on Whitlam Over Aid |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/250395069 |access-date=2020-12-20 |work=Papua New Guinea Post-Courier |date=1975-08-14}}</ref>

===Deputy Prime Minister (1975–1983)===

[[File:John Douglas Anthony.jpg|thumb|upright|Anthony in [[Romania]] in 1976]]

Anthony had a much better working relationship with [[Malcolm Fraser]] than he did with [[Billy Snedden]].<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/236920463?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Sydney Tribune, 1 April 1975]</ref> At first, Anthony did not support Snedden's or Fraser's decisions to block parliamentary supply from the Labor Party, beginning in October 1975, though he was soon convinced otherwise.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/110774047?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Canberra Times, 20 April 1974]</ref> The Coalition was confirmed in power at the [[1975 Australian federal election|1975 election]], with the biggest majority government in Australian history. Though from 1975 to 1980 the Liberals won enough seats to form government in their own right, Fraser opted to retain the Coalition with the NCP.<ref>[https://australianpolitics.com/elections/federal-1975 AustralianPolitics.com 1975 election details]</ref> Anthony again became Deputy Prime Minister, with the portfolios of [[Minister for Trade (Australia)|Overseas Trade]] and [[Minister for Resources and Energy (Australia)|National Resources]] (Trade and Resources from 1977).<ref name=ph/> Anthony was noted, while Prime Minister Fraser took annual Christmas holidays, for governing the country as Acting Prime Minister from a caravan in his electorate of Richmond.<ref>[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WsiY25PhvrM Doug Anthony Address at the 1974 National Party Conference]</ref>

In 1976, during his second term as Deputy Prime Minister, Anthony began a strong import and export relationship with Japan, particularly over oil.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/250320328?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, 9 February 1976]</ref> Anthony supported the mining and export of Australian uranium, and believed it would be an essential part of the future economy.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/250405398?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, 31 March 1976]</ref> While Acting Prime Minister in July 1976, he was the first user of the [[Papua New Guinea]]–[[Cairns]] telephone line, speaking to Acting Prime Minister [[Albert Maori Kiki|Sir Maori Kiki]].<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/250869007?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, 23 July 1976]</ref> While Acting Prime Minister in July 1979, he threatened to shut down an industrial strike in [[Western Australia]], stating the issue had to be resolved. The Labor Party was strongly opposed to this action and called his power as Acting Prime Minister into question.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/250623853?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Papua New Guinea Post-Courier, ?? July 1979]</ref> After Fraser lost office in 1983, Anthony remained as party leader (since 1974 named the National Party). The last major move as leader of the National Party that Anthony made was to explain the tensions between the Liberal and National parties in Queensland, who officially opposed each other in the October 1983 election.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/116393022?searchTerm=%22Doug%20Anthony%22&searchLimits=sortby=dateAsc Canberra Times, 1 November 1938]</ref>

==Retirement and death==

Anthony remained in parliament for less than a year after the 1983 defeat before retiring from politics in 1984. By then, although only 54, he was the [[Father of the Australian House of Representatives|Father of the House of Representatives]], having served 27 years in Parliament. He returned to his farm near Murwillumbah and generally stayed out of politics.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.usyd.edu.au/senate/committees/advisoryJDAnthony.shtml |title=Honorary awards |date=14 November 2009 |publisher=[[University of Sydney|The University of Sydney]] |access-date=22 January 2010}}</ref> In [[1996 Australian federal election|1996]], [[Larry Anthony]] won his father's old seat.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/dynasties/txt/s1241124.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041217194250/http://www.abc.net.au/dynasties/txt/s1241124.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 December 2004 |title=Lawrence James Anthony (1961– ) |date=14 December 2004 |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |access-date=22 January 2010}}</ref>

In 1994, Anthony appeared in a documentary series about the Liberal Party in which he revealed that McMahon had refused to tell him beforehand the date of the 1972 election, despite Anthony being the Country Party leader. During 1999, Anthony spoke in support of Australia becoming a [[Republicanism in Australia|republic]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000119165124/http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/stories/s58590.htm Republic referendum a political campaign with few precedents], [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]], 11 October 1999</ref>
