Thomas Murray (Australian politician)
Thomas George Murray (9 January 1885 – 18 March 1969) was an Australian politician.
He was born at Canowindra, the son of George Murray. He was a stock and station agent and eventually purchased large tracts of property. On 25 November 1915 he married Clarissa Grant, with whom he had three daughters. A member of the Wheat Board from 1920, he was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council in 1921 as a Labor nominee. He was expelled from the Labor Party in 1926 after voting against abolition of the Legislative Council, and remained in the Council until 1958 as a conservative-leaning independent. Murray died in 1969 at Double Bay.[1]
