A In 1936–1937, six United Australia MPs (Shields, Knox, Maltby, Kirton, Drew, and Macfarlan) formed the "Country and Liberal wing" of the party and shifted to the crossbenches, declaring their unhappiness with the direction of the UAP and asserting their right to support the Dunstan government on measures of which they approved. They remained formally in the party, neither resigning nor being expelled, until the disbandment of the section immediately following the 1937 election.[1]
