He held office as the leader of the <a href="/wiki/Nationalist_Party_(Australia)" title="Nationalist Party (Australia)">Nationalist Party</a>, having previously served as the <a href="/wiki/Treasurer_of_Australia" title="Treasurer of Australia">treasurer of Australia</a> from 1921 to 1923. </p><p>Born into a briefly wealthy <a href="/wiki/Melbourne" title="Melbourne">Melbourne</a> family, Bruce studied at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Cambridge" title="University of Cambridge">University of Cambridge</a> and played a leading role in his family's softgoods firm following the suicide of his father <a href="/wiki/John_Munro_Bruce" title="John Munro Bruce">John Munro Bruce</a>. He served on the front lines of the <a href="/wiki/Gallipoli_Campaign" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallipoli Campaign">Gallipoli Campaign</a> in World War I and returned to Australia wounded in 1917, becoming a spokesman for government recruitment efforts. He gained the attention of the Nationalist Party and prime minister <a href="/wiki/Billy_Hughes" title="Billy Hughes">Billy Hughes</a>, who encouraged a political career. He was elected to the <a href="/wiki/Australian_House_of_Representatives" title="Australian House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> in 1918, becoming member of parliament (MP) for the seat of <a href="/wiki/Division_of_Flinders" title="Division of Flinders">Flinders</a>. He was appointed as <a href="/wiki/Treasurer_of_Australia" title="Treasurer of Australia">treasurer</a> in 1921, before replacing Hughes as prime minister in 1923. He established an anti-socialist coalition government with the agrarian <a href="/wiki/Australian_Country_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian Country Party">Country Party</a>, working closely with Country leader <a href="/wiki/Earle_Page" title="Earle Page">Earle Page</a> in an arrangement that pioneered the modern <a href="/wiki/Coalition_(Australia)" title="Coalition (Australia)">Liberal–National coalition</a>. </p><p>In office, Bruce pursued an energetic and diverse agenda. He comprehensively overhauled federal government administration and oversaw its transfer to the new capital city of <a href="/wiki/Canberra" title="Canberra">Canberra</a>. He implemented various reforms to the <a href="/wiki/Federalism_in_Australia" title="Federalism in Australia">Australian federal system</a> to strengthen the role of the Commonwealth, and helped develop the forerunners of the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Federal_Police" title="Australian Federal Police">Australian Federal Police</a> and the <a href="/wiki/CSIRO" title="CSIRO">CSIRO</a>. Bruce's "men, money and markets" scheme was an ambitious attempt to rapidly expand Australia's population and economic potential through massive government investment and closer ties with Great Britain and the rest of the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a>. However, his endeavours to overhaul Australia's industrial relations system brought his government into frequent conflict with the labour movement, and his radical proposal to abolish the <a href="/wiki/Commonwealth_Court_of_Conciliation_and_Arbitration" title="Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration">Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration</a> in 1929 prompted members of his own party into <a href="/wiki/Crossing_the_floor" title="Crossing the floor">crossing the floor</a> to defeat the government.

Instead he pursued an international career, accepting appointment as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom in 1933. Bruce became an influential figure in British government circles and at the <a href="/wiki/League_of_Nations" title="League of Nations">League of Nations</a>, emerging as a tireless advocate for international co-operation on economic and social problems, especially those facing the <a href="/wiki/Developing_world" class="mw-redirect" title="Developing world">developing world</a>.

His first trip abroad as prime minister was for the 1923 Imperial Conference in London. Bruce put forward a wide range of proposals for stronger co-operation between Great Britain and her <a href="/wiki/Dominion" title="Dominion">dominions</a> in a wide range of areas, particularly in the areas of trade, defence and the formulation of a common foreign policy. He particularly desired a greater role for the dominions in imperial affairs, including a collective decision-making body for common questions of defence and foreign affairs. He took exception to a lack of involvement in foreign policy decisions made by Britain that would have significant ramifications for Australia.
