Emergency Committee of South Australia

The Emergency Committee of South Australia was a political party which ran candidates in South Australia at the 1931 federal election. It arose as a consequence of the financial turmoil brought about by the Great Depression in Australia, and was opposed to what it saw as the "financial extremists" in James Scullin's Federal Labor government. Soon after the election, it merged with the United Australia Party.
