Question: When was the Division that Prime Minister Billy Hughes transferred to proclaimed?
Context: John Lynch (1862 – 15 June 1941) was an Australian politician.  Born in Young, New South Wales, he received a primary education before becoming a road contractor and dam sinker.  He also selected land at Thuddingra.  In 1914, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Werriwa, defeating Liberal MP Alfred Conroy.  Lynch was one of the Labor members who followed Prime Minister Billy Hughes when he left the Labor Party in 1916 and formed the Nationalist Party with the Liberals.  Lynch won re-election as a Nationalist in 1917 but was defeated in 1919 by Labor's Bert Lazzarini.  He became a farmer and rural writer before his death in 1941. The Division of North Sydney is an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales.  It was proclaimed in 1900 and was one of the original 75 federation divisions contested at the first federal election. Cornelius Wallace (19 January 1881 – 20 September 1921) was an Australian politician.  Born in Sydney, he received a primary education before becoming a seaman and an organiser of the Australian Seamen's Union.  In 1917, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for West Sydney, succeeding Prime Minister Billy Hughes (elected as a member of the Labor Party but now a Nationalist), who contested Bendigo instead.  In 1919, Wallace contested Nepean to make way for former Queensland Premier T. J. Ryan, but was defeated.  He became a member of the Queensland Navigation Department, and died in 1921. The National Labor Party was formed by Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes in 1916 following the 1916 Labor split on the issue of World War I conscription in Australia.  Hughes had taken over as leader of the Australian Labor Party and Prime Minister of Australia when anti-conscriptionist Andrew Fisher resigned in 1915.  He formed the new party for himself and his followers after he was expelled from the ALP a month after the 1916 plebiscite on conscription in Australia.  Hughes held a pro-conscription stance in relation to World War I. Geoffry Hurry (15 September 1868 – 7 February 1951) was an Australian politician.  Born in Kyneton, Victoria, he attended Melbourne Grammar School before becoming a solicitor.  He served on Kyneton Shire Council before undergoing military service from 1915 to 1920.  In 1922, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Nationalist member for Bendigo, succeeding Prime Minister Billy Hughes, who transferred to North Sydney, and defeating Edmund Jowett, the Country Party member for the abolished seat of Grampians.  Hurry held the seat until his defeat in 1929, after which he became a lawyer.  He died in 1951. The Liberal Party, also known as the Liberal Union or the Liberal Union Party, was a short-lived political party in Australia (mainly Victoria and South Australia) that operated mainly in 1922.  The party was formed by disaffected Nationalists, principally Thomas Ashworth and Charles Merrett, who opposed the leadership of Prime Minister Billy Hughes.  Two federal Nationalist MPs, Victorian William Watt and South Australian Richard Foster, joined the Liberal Party and three more MPs (John Latham from Victoria, and Malcolm Cameron and Jack Duncan-Hughes from South Australia) were elected in the 1922 federal election.  South Australian Nationalist Senators James Rowell and Edward Vardon also contested the election, unsuccessfully, as Liberals.  Their opposition to Hughes, coupled with the hostility of the Country Party towards a Hughes-led government, was a factor in Hughes' decision to retire and leave the Prime Ministership to Stanley Bruce.  After Hughes's retirement, all five Liberals rejoined the Nationalist Party, although they remained officially Liberals until 1925. A by-election was held for the Australian House of Representatives seat of Bradfield on 20 December 1952.  This was triggered by the death of Liberal Party MP and former Prime Minister Billy Hughes. The Nationalist Party of Australia was an Australian political party.  It was formed on 17 February 1917 from a merger between the conservative Commonwealth Liberal Party and the National Labor Party, the name given to supporters of World War I conscription in Australia from the Australian Labor Party led by Prime Minister Billy Hughes.  The Nationalist Party was in government (at times as part of a coalition) until electoral defeat in 1929.  From that time it was the main opposition to the Labor Party until it merged with pro-Joseph Lyons Labor defectors to form the United Australia Party in 1931, which was the predecessor to the Liberal Party of Australia, founded in 1944. Reginald John Burchell (20 May 1883 – 20 June 1955) was an Australian politician.  Born in Port Pirie, South Australia, he received a primary education before moving to Western Australia in 1897, where he became a railwayman and railway unionist.  In 1913, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Fremantle, defeating the sitting Liberal member, William Hedges.  In 1916, he joined Prime Minister Billy Hughes in leaving the Labor Party over the issue of conscription, joining Hughes' new National Labor Party.  In 1917, the National Labor Party merged with the Liberal Party to form the Nationalist Party.  Burchell retained his seat as a Nationalist in 1917 with a very large 25.2% swing.  He retired in 1922, becoming a company manager and administrative officer in Melbourne.  Burchell died in 1955.
