The propagation of Social Credit principles in Queensland in the 1920s and 1930s was largely the work of Brisbane resident W.H. Rhys, not Eric Butler as elsewhere in Australia. Populist, anti- semitic and tightly organised, Social Credit gained wide support during the depressed 1930s. In 1939, 39 Social Credit members stormed the Queensland Parliament. The 1940s saw Butler assume national authority and in 1946 he established The League of Rights. In 1960 the state branches amalgamated to form The Australian League of Rights. Over time the League has attracted support from individuals such as Sir Raphael Cilento.
