Just thought this would be worthy of a thread

Lifted from wiki (News sites we can't copy and paste but wiki is fine)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Menzies

Sir Robert Gordon Menzies, KT, AK, CH, QC, FAA, FRS (/ˈmɛnziːz/; 20 December 1894 – 15 May 1978), was an Australian politician who twice served as Prime Minister of Australia, in office from 1939 to 1941 and again from 1949 to 1966. He played a central role in the creation of the Liberal Party of Australia, defining its policies and its broad outreach. He is Australia's longest-serving prime minister, serving over 18 years in total.

Obviously the relevance of someone who died 41 years ago and who up until 10 mins ago I'd never heard (sorry not an Australian) could be somewhat limited but go for it people broaden your minds and do some research
