==Early life and state politics==
Born Albert Grassby in Brisbane, Queensland to parents of Spanish and Irish descent, Grassby changed his name to emphasise his Irish roots.
His family lived in the United Kingdom during the 1930s and 1940s, and Albert was educated partly at schools in England.〔(Parliament of NSW, n.d., ''Mr Albert Jaime GRASSBY '' ) (5 November 2014)〕 During World War II, his father was killed in a German air raid.〔Martin Lumb, Scott Bennett & John Moremon ''Commonwealth Members of Parliament who have served in war'', Canberra: Parliamentary Library, p. 5. 〕 After he turned 18, Grassby joined the British Army, serving in both infantry units and the British Intelligence Corps (1945–46).〔 〔
Following the end of the war, Grassby returned to Australia, working as a journalist and a consultant on agricultural issues. In 1965 Grassby was elected as Member of the NSW Legislative Assembly for the electorate of Murrumbidgee representing the Australian Labor Party. Grassby served as Shadow Minister for Agriculture and Conservation between 1968 and 1969. His high profile and popularity in the local community encouraged him to enter federal politics.
