Thomas Michael "Tom" Keegan (29 May 1878 – 14 September 1937) was an Australian politician. Born in Ararat to miner John Walter Keegan and Mary Flood, he attended primary schools before becoming a miner at Wyalong. Active in the miners' union and the Australian Labor Party, he moved to Sydney around 1901. Around 1902 he married Marie Hallan, with whom he had three children; he would remarry Doris Martin around 1927. In 1910 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Glebe. Keegan was elected president of the Glebe Rugby League Club, a position he would remain in until 1920. Keegan was defeated in the election of 1920 after the introduction of proportional representation but returned to the Assembly via a casual vacancy as one of the members for Balmain. When proportional representation was abandoned in 1927 he returned to his old seat of Glebe, serving until 1925. From May to October 1927 he served as Minister for Local Government. Keegan died in 1937 in Sydney. His brother John was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1925 to 1934. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Keegan (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
