Answer
The Australian 1913 federal election saw Andrew Fisher lead the Australian Labor Party to victory, defeating the incumbent Liberal Party led by Joseph Cook. Fisher had previously served as Prime Minister from 1908 to 1910. The Labor Party's victory was largely attributed to the party's strong stance on social welfare and workers' rights, as well as its opposition to Cook's proposed policies regarding the expansion of the Australian Navy.
