Timeline

1926

Keppel Earl Enderby (25 June 1926 – 7 January 2015) was an Australian politician and judge.

1944

He was a trainee pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force in 1944 and 1945.

1946

He studied law at the University of Sydney from 1946 to 1950 and was admitted to the New South Wales bar in 1950.

He was a successful amateur golfer.

He won the 1946 New South Wales Amateur Championship beating defending champion Alan Waterson in the semi-final and John Allerton in the final.

He represented New South Wales in the Australian Men's Interstate Teams Matches in 1946, 1947, 1948 and 1949.

1950

From 1950 to 1954, he worked as a barrister in London and studied at the University of London.

Enderby was active with Ken Buckley in the foundation of the New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties in the 1950s and 1960s.

1951

He also played golf in the British Amateur and Open championships in 1951 and 1952.

1955

He returned to New South Wales in 1955 and practised law and lectured at Sydney Technical College.

1962

In 1962, he became a lecturer in law at the Australian National University in Canberra.

1966

In 1966, he began practising law in Canberra while continuing to teach part-time.

1970

Enderby was a member of the House of Representatives, representing the Australian Labor Party between 1970 and 1975 and became a senior cabinet minister in the Gough Whitlam government.

After politics, he was appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

Enderby was born in Dubbo, New South Wales and educated at Dubbo High School.

His parents were milk-bar proprietors.

In 1970, Enderby gained Australian Labor Party (ALP) pre-selection for the Division of Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and was subsequently elected to the House of Representatives at a by-election following Jim Fraser's death in April 1970.

1971

As the Federal member for the ACT, Kep Enderby was involved in Parliamentary debate over the 1971 Canberra flood.

1972

Following Whitlam's victory at the 1972 election, Enderby was appointed as the first Minister for the Capital Territory and the first Minister for the Northern Territory in the December 1972 ministry, replacing the former portfolio of the Interior.

1973

He was appointed a Queen's Counsel (QC) in 1973.

In October 1973, he lost these posts, partly because his ACT portfolio made him responsible for implementing policies that were unpopular in his electorate.

Instead, he became Minister for Secondary Industry and Minister for Supply.

1974

Enderby became the last Minister for Supply—a portfolio which had been established at the beginning of World War II and included responsibility for government munitions factories—when Supply and Secondary Industry were merged into the Manufacturing Industry portfolio in the June 1974 ministry.

It was during this time that he made what has become his most famous utterance: "Traditionally, Australia obtains its imports from overseas."

Enderby was elected to the new seat of Canberra at the 1974 election, but was one of many Labor members to lose their seats in the landslide 1975 election defeat that followed the dismissal of the Whitlam Government.

Enderby moved to Sydney and returned to the bar, where he practised as a barrister.

1975

In February 1975, following Lionel Murphy's appointment to the High Court of Australia, Enderby became Attorney-General and Minister for Customs and Excise.

One of his first actions was to introduce a bill to decriminalize abortion and homosexuality in the Australian Capital Territory.

The Customs and Excise portfolio was renamed Police and Customs in March 1975, reflecting the government's decision to establish the Australia Police.

The Police and Customs portfolio was reassigned to Jim Cavanagh in June 1975.

1982

From 1982 until his retirement in 1992, he was a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

1987

1997

In 1997, he was appointed head of the Serious Offenders Review Council, during which time he said that up to 80 per cent of the nation's prisoners should not be behind bars.

2000

In June 2000, the NSW Government decided not to re-appoint him when his term expired, but said the move was not related to his outspoken views.
