-------------------------------------------------------------------- Downer defeated Dr John Hewson in a Liberal party-room ballot following Hewson's decision to resign and re-contest the leadership. He resigned the leadership eight months later following a series of errors and bad opinion poll results. He was the first leader of a major party to resign his position without facing an election since John Latham in 1931, and the first ever to do so simply on the grounds that he had failed in the job.
