Timeline
Robert Edward Tickner (born 24 December 1951) is a former Australian Labor Party cabinet minister.
Prior to entering parliament, he worked as a university lecturer at the NSW Institute of Technology from 1974 to 1979, then as principal solicitor for the NSW Aboriginal Legal Service from 1979 to 1984.
Tickner was one of the early and influential members of Friends of the Earth Australia in Sydney in 1975, being the lease owner of a three-storey terrace on Crown St, Surry Hills which became the FoE Sydney bookshop and office.
He was convenor of the FoE urban campaign which opposed the Sydney City Council's inappropriate high rise development.
From 1977 to 1984 he was elected as a Labor Councillor on the Sydney City Council, He also served a brief time as Acting Lord Mayor in Aug-Sep 1983 in the absence of Lord Mayor Doug Sutherland and Deputy Lord Mayor Tony Bradford.
After failing to gain victory as ALP candidate for the 1981 Wentworth by-election (which was won by the Liberals' candidate Peter Coleman, former Leader of the NSW Opposition), Tickner was successful in entering the federal parliament at the 1984 Hughes by-election.
Bob Hawke appointed Tickner, in 1990, the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs; and he retained this post throughout Paul Keating's government.
Tickner's tenure in office was marred by the Hindmarsh Island bridge controversy.

He was one of eight ministers in the Keating government to lose their seats.
He was Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Red Cross from February 2005 to July 2015.
