  Frank Nicklin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicklin was born in Murwillumbah, New South Wales on 6 August 1895, the son of a newspaper proprietor.
Nicklin was not widely known when he became Premier, and while he was too modest a man to indulge in self-aggrandising publicity he was skilled enough a politician to let the honest label stick.

 Michael Ahern (Australian politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Jack Pizzey, Nicklin's successor, died, Ahern's prospects suffered a setback when the wily conservative Joh Bjelke-Petersen was elected as the Country Party's new leader.
This was founded partly on Ahern's closeness to Nicklin, whom Bjelke-Petersen had resented; partly on Ahern's youth and intellect; and partly on Ahern's Roman Catholicism, unpalatable to Bjelke-Petersen as the son of a Lutheran preacher.
Bjelke-Petersen was determined to stymie Ahern's ambitions to be in Cabinet.
