Publicists - Refer to Lack, Clem. Three Decades of Queensland Political History 1929-1960. Queensland Government Printer, Brisbane, no date. Notes: The Country and Progressive National Organisation of Queensland was the extra-parliamentary wing of this Party. The Country Party of Queensland and the United Party announced a coalition in 1924 and merged in 1925 to form the Country Progressive Party. Some United Party members were excluded from the new party and formed the National Party. When they were admitted the Country Progressive Party became the Country and Progressive National Party and it retained the earlier party's objectives and policies. It was funded by a Brisbane and southern business group, the National Union. The party contested the 1926 elections and lost. However, it formed a government from 1929 to 1932. The coalition was ended and the Party dissolved in 1936.
