Timeline
Henry Jefferson Percival "Jeff" Bate (5 March 1906 – 15 April 1984) was an Australian politician, representing the United Australia Party and the Liberal Party of Australia for most of his career, but ended as an independent.
Jeff Bate was born in Tilba, New South Wales on 5 March 1906, a son of Henry John Bate, a Member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, and his wife Lily Percival, a leading contralto.
He was educated at Newington College (1918–21), The King's School, Parramatta (1922–23) and the University of Sydney.
He became a farmer at Bodalla, Wallaga Lake and Tilba Tilba.
He won prizes for dairy fodder conservation at the Royal Agricultural Society show.
Bate became director of the Bodalla Co-operative Dairy Company from 1927, later managing the cheese co-operative.
He was a Councillor of the Eurobodalla Shire Council 1929–37, and its President 1936–37.
During World War II he served in the 2nd Australian Imperial Forces as a Lieutenant.
He followed his father's footsteps into the NSW Legislative Assembly, where he represented the electoral district of Wollondilly from 1938 to 1949.
He was a member of the Armoured Corps in 1940–45, and saw service in Egypt, Cyprus, the Middle East, New Guinea and New Britain.
He represented the United Australia Party until 1945, then joined the newly founded Liberal Party of Australia.
He moved to federal politics, and in 1949 he was elected as the House of Representatives member for the seat of Macarthur.
Bate was married three times: in 1928 to Gerta Ellen Homburg (1907-1985) (two children, John and Margaret); in 1958 to future Country Women's Association president Thelma Kirkby; and on 19 February 1969 to Dame Zara Holt, the widow of Prime Minister Harold Holt.
In the lead-up to the 1972 federal election, Bate lost Liberal preselection in Macarthur to Max Dunbier, a former state MP.
At a meeting in Bowral on 9 October, he agreed to re-contest the seat as an independent.
He immediately ruled out supporting a Labor government if re-elected.
A "Bring Back Bate Committee" was established to coordinate his campaign.
He decision to stand against an endorsed Liberal candidate resulted in his party membership automatically lapsing.
At the election he placed third on first preferences behind Dunbier and ALP candidate John Kerin, who was elected.
Bate died in Canberra on 15 April 1984, aged 78.
