Politician
1860 – 1929
Who was Thomas Kennedy?
Thomas Kennedy was an Australian politician. Born in Gisborne, Victoria, he received a primary education and was a farmer by the age of 17. In 1894, he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the member for Benalla and Yarrawonga, a position he held until 1901. In that year, he transferred to federal politics, winning the Australian House of Representatives seat of Moira for the Protectionist Party at the first federal election. Kennedy's seat of Moira was abolished in 1906; he contested Echuca instead, but was narrowly defeated by Albert Palmer. He retired from politics and became a farmer at Buffalo. Kennedy died in 1929.
