 | | Costar, Brian, 'Vincent Clair Gair: Labor's Loser', in The Premiers of Queensland, edited by Denis Murphy, Roger Joyce and Margaret Cribb, University of Queensland Press, St Lucia, 1990. |
 | | Premier from 1952 to 1957, V.C. Gair was a participant in the ALP split in Queensland, and "had the dubious distinction", according to Costar, "of being the only Queensland premier to lose office as a direct consequence of expulsion by the organisational wing of a political party". |
 | | Gair formed the short-lived Queensland Labor Party and in 1964 entered the Senate, becoming federal leader of the Democratic Labor Party. |
