About Vince Gair

Vincent Clair Gair was an Australian politician. He served as Premier of Queensland from 1952 until 1957, when his stormy relations with the trade union movement saw him expelled from the Labor Party. He was elected to the Australian Senate and led the Democratic Labor Party from 1965 to 1973. In 1974 he was appointed Australian Ambassador to Ireland by the Whitlam government, which caused his expulsion from the DLP. Gair discovered that the AWU had gained its information about the scandal from a senior public official, Vivian Creighton. Gair easily won the elections of May 1956. The two Labor factions won only 31 seats between them to the Coalition's 42.
