List of Prime Ministers of Australia with facial hair
The majority of men who have held the office of Prime Ministers of Australia have been clean shaven. Between 1903 and 1923, however, all wore either beards or mustaches during their tenure in office.
Alfred Deakin (1903–04)(1905–08)(1909–10) was the first Prime Ministers of Australia to have notable facial hair. The most recent Prime Ministers to have facial hair was Billy Hughes(1915–1923), who wore a mustache. The last major party candidate to have facial hair with a mustache was Matthew Charlton,[citation needed] who was defeated in 1925.
