Politics
In 1908 he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland as the Labor member for Charters Towers, where he remained until 1912.[1] In 1913 he was elected to the Australian Senate as a Labor Senator for Queensland. He remained in the Senate until his defeat in 1917,[2] after which he returned to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as the member for Flinders in 1918.[1] He served as Attorney-General from 1920 to 1929. In 1932, he changed seats, moving to Carpentaria,[1] and resumed his position as Attorney-General, which he retained until 1940.
