TheReid ministry (Free Trade) was the 4thministry of theGovernment of Australia. It was led by the country's 4thPrime Minister,George Reid. The Reid ministry succeeded theWatson ministry, which dissolved on 17 August 1904 after theProtectionist Party withdrew their support andChris Watson was forced to resign. Due to having to rely on the Protectionists to retain office, half of the ministry was forced to accommodate conservative Protectionists - leading to the government to sometimes be referred to as theReid-McLean Ministry. The ministry was replaced by theSecond Deakin ministry on 5 July 1905 after the Protectionists withdrew their support and returned to office with the support of theLabour Party.^[1]

James Drake, who died in 1941, was the last surviving member of the Reid ministry; Drake was also the last surviving minister of theBarton government and theFirst Deakin ministry.Sir Josiah Symon was the last surviving Free Trade minister.

Notes
