Herbert George McPhail ( 11 February 1878 – 20 September 1951) was a member of both the Queensland Legislative Council and Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Early life
McPhail was born at Brisbane, Queensland, to Robert McPhail and his wife Fanny (née Challenger) and was educated at Brisbane Normal School.[1]
Political career
McPhail entered politics at the 1915 state election, winning the seat of Windsor for the Labor and defeating the sitting member, Hugh Macrossan.[2] He held the seat for one term before losing to Charles Taylor in 1918.[3]
When the Labour Party starting forming governments in Queensland, it found much of its legislation being blocked by a hostile Council, where members had been appointed for life by successive conservative governments. After a failed referendum in May 1917,[4] Premier Ryan tried a new tactic, and later that year advised the Governor, Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams, to appoint thirteen new members whose allegiance lay with Labour to the Council.[5]
In 1920, the new Premier Ted Theodore appointed a further fourteen new members to the Council[6] with McPhail amongst the appointees.[1] He served for seven months before resigning in September 1920 only to be reappointed fourteen months later and remaining in the Council until it was abolished in March 1922.[1]
Personal life
McPhail died in Brisbane in September 1951[1] and was cremated at Mount Thompson Crematorium.[7]
