George Albert Gibbons (1887 – 11 August 1954) was an Australian politician. Born in Tichborne, New South Wales, he received a primary education before becoming a farm labourer and then a farmer. He was secretary of the Rural Workers Union, and later an organiser of the Australian Workers' Union. In 1929, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Calare, defeating Nationalist minister Sir Neville Howse. He held the seat until Labor's landslide defeat in 1931, when he was defeated by Harold Thorby of the Country Party. He returned to farming and died in 1956.[1]
