About Jack Pizzey

Jack Charles Allan Pizzey was a Queensland Country Party politician. He was Premier of Queensland, in a coalition with the Liberal Party, from 17 January 1968 until his death on 31 July that year. To date, he is the most recent premier of an Australian state to die in office. This representative role encouraged Pizzey to run for parliament, and in 1950 he won the safe Country Party seat of Isis in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland. In 1962, the University of Queensland awarded Pizzey an honorary doctorate of law for his contribution to education in Queensland. The Country–Liberal Party Coalition won a sweeping victory, its first in 22 years.
