Topic: George Turner Australian politician


  
  Ozleft
George Petersen, one-time member of the Communist Party and several Trotskyist organisations, Labor MLA for the Illawarra seat of Kembla from 1968 to 1971, and for the seat of Illawarra from 1971 to 1988, died on March 28, 2000.
George Petersen was the grandchild of Scandinavian migrants to Queensland, Danish and Swedish.
George's book also describes the enormous number of bread-and-butter issues that he took up on behalf of constituents or other people, many of which he successfully resolved on their behalf, and this aspect underlines the importance of apparently "mundane" local issues to ordinary people.

From its emergence in the post World War One decade as a political force on the Federal and State scene, the Australian Country Party (A.C.P.) was committed to a series of policy initiatives aimed at ameliorating the social and economic condition of rural Australia.
Into this situation stepped The Australian League of Rights (A.L.O.R.) whose spokespersons accused the A.C.P. of drifting away from their electoral commitments, an accusation countered by the A.C.P. which alleged that the A.L.O.R. had deliberately infiltrated their ranks with the specific objectives of destabilisation and manipulation.
Cedric Turner was of the opinion that once in office, C.P. elected members, by the 1960's, were more concerned with their own advancement, "To sit on the front bench was always paramount." Personal communication, Cedric Turner to the author, 27 April 1993.
