Country-National Organisation (1941-1945). Formerly the Queensland Country Party (1936-1941) and the United Australia Party (1936-1943). Became the Australian Country Party, Queensland (1944-1974).

Notes: The United Australia Party and the Parliamentary wing of the Queensland Country Party merged to form this Organisation. However, a minority of Country Party members and the Party organization opposed the merger with the United Australia Party. As a result some members formed a separate Country section of the Party. Later in 1941 a Queensland Country Party conference decided to continue as a separate organization. The western division of the Queensland Country Party (which had been refused affiliation with the Queensland Country Party) also remained separate from the Country-National Organisation. The United Australia Party wing disintegrated and in 1944 members joined the newly formed Liberal Party of Australia. In 1945 the Country-National Organisation was formally dissolved.
