Harry Holgate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harold Norman Holgate (Born Maitland, December 5, 1933; Died March 16, 1997) was an Australian Labor Party politician and Premier of Tasmania from December 11, 1981 to May 26, 1982. Prior to entering politics he was a journalist and television producer.
He first stood for election in 1972 but was unable to meet the required quota of 4,707 votes [1]. In 1976, he stood for election again and was the second candidate elected in the Division of Bass (following Liberal member Neil Robson). He held his seat from 1976 until 1992.
