Still regarded as one of the most efficient administrators the NSW Labor Party ever had, he left the party during the great split of the fifties to become one of the founding members of the DLP.

Book Description Softcover. Condition: FINE!. AUSTRALIANA POLITICSJohn Thomas Kane (23 July 1908 â " 27 October 1988) was an Australian politician. Born in Burraga, New South Wales, he was educated at Catholic schools in Lithgow, after which he became a coalminer. He was Vice-President of the Transport Workers' Union 1952â "1956 and Assistant General Secretary of the New South Wales Labor Party 1952â "1955. In 1955, he was expelled from the Labor Party together with many other members, joining with them to form the Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist), which became the Democratic Labor Party (DLP). He was the NSW DLP General Secretary 1956â "1971 and the Federal Secretary 1957â "71.[1]In 1970, he was elected to the Australian Senate as a DLP Senator for New South Wales. Kane's election to the Senate resulted from a decision of the New South Wales Branch of the ALP to allocate preferences in favour of the DLP ticket rather than to the lead candidate of the Australia Party, television presenter Diana Ward.[2] He was defeated (along with all the other DLP Senators) in the double dissolution election of 1974 and the DLP did not hold a Senate seat again until 2011. He died in 1988. The Jack Kane memorial dinner was set up in 2011 by the NSW branch of the DLP. Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
