He also studied at the University of Melbourne for a Master of Arts degree. In 1928, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives in unusual circumstances. Jones stood for the Labor Party in Indi, and was initially a heavy underdog in this strongly conservative seat.

The Labor Party has not come close to winning th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
