Frank Troy
Michael Francis "Frank" Troy (13 October 1877 – 7 January 1953) was an Australian politician who served in the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1904 to 1939. A member of the Labor Party, he was the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1911 to 1917, the first from that party to hold the position. Later in his career, Troy spent long periods as a frontbencher, serving as a minister in the first and second Collier governments, and then in the Willcock government (where he was deputy premier). After leaving parliament, he served as Agent-General for Western Australia from 1939 to 1947. ==Early life and business career== Troy's parents were Ellen (née Maloney) and Patrick Troy, both Irish Catholic immigrants from County Tipperary. He was born at Pimlico, New South Wales, the locality on the Richmond River (near Ballina) where his father's farm was located.〔Black, David, and Bolton, Geoffrey (1990). ''(Biographical Register of Members of the Parliament of Western Australia: Volume One (1870–1930) )'', p. 195.〕 Troy's father died when he was very young, and his mother subsequently moved her ten children to the nearby town of Wardell, where she ran a store.〔("MRS. ELLEN TROY." ) – ''Catholic Freeman's Journal'' (Sydney), 17 November 1938.〕 Initially training as a schoolteacher, Troy left the profession after only two years, and instead worked various jobs in the country. He arrived in Western Australia in 1897 with the intention of prospecting for gold in the colony's Murchison region. There, he became involved in the local trade union movement, serving in leadership roles with both the Australian Workers' Union (AWU) and the Amalgamated Workers' Association (AWA) at various stages.〔 Troy quickly rose to become secretary of the Murchison district AWA branch, succeeding John Holman (who had entered parliament).〔("STATE POLITICS." ) – ''Westralian Worker'', 24 August 1902.〕
