Patrick Leslie Coleman
Patrick Leslie "Les" Coleman (21 January 1895 – 6 October 1974), Australian politician, was a member of the Victorian Legislative Council for Melbourne West Province representing the Australian Labor Party from October 1943 until March 1955. He was a member of the Catholic Social Studies Movement ("The Movement") in Victoria, and was expelled from the ministry and the ALP as part of the Australian Labor Party split of 1955. After his expulsion from the ALP in March 1955, he became, with William Barry in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, the parliamentary leader of the Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist), which was briefly referred to in the media as the Coleman-Barry Labor Party.〔Robert Murray. ''The Split'', F.W. Cheshire, Melbourne (1970), pg. 249.〕 He was a member of that party only until June 1955.
Coleman was educated at the Christian Brothers College in East Melbourne. He qualified as an accountant while working part time for the Victorian Department of Education, and later owned various hotels. Coleman was a Commissioner of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works and a Melbourne City Councillor from 1939-1960. He was Government Leader in the Legislative Council from 1952-1955. He was Assistant Treasurer and Minister of Materials in the second Cain government from 1945–47, and Minister for Transport in the third Cain government from 1952-55. 〔(Profile at parliament.vic.gov.au )〕
== Political career==
Coleman was defeated in seeking re-election for his province in 1955.〔Ross Fitzgerald (2003), The Pope's Battalions. Santamaria, Catholicism and the Labor Split, University of Queensland Press, St Lucia, Queensland, p. 148.〕 He unsuccessfully contested DLP preselection for the Australian Senate in 1958, in which he was defeated by Jack Little, Coleman's successor as ALP (Anti-Communist) and subsequently DLP Leader in the Legislative Council.
It has been argued that Little was preferred as a DLP candidate because he was not a Catholic.〔Ainsley Symons (2012), 'Democratic Labor Party members in the Victorian Parliament of 1955-1958', ''Recorder'' (Australian Society for the Study of Labour History, Melbourne Branch) No. 275, pp. 4-5.〕 The DLP was largely a Catholic party, and a non-Catholic candidate had certain electoral attractions, i.e. to show that the DLP was not intentionally sectarian and that members of all religions were welcome.〔Lyle Allan. "The Democratic Labor Party: Was It An Ethnic Party?", ''Recorder'' (Australian Society for the Study of Labour History, Melbourne Branch) No. 133, April 1985, pp. 6–10.〕 Coleman did not again seek public office.
