William Henry Corfield (politician) : ウィキペディア英語版 | William Henry Corfield (politician)
William Henry Corfield (1843–1927) was a politician in the Australian state of Queensland.〔(Corfield, William Henry (1843–1927) Biographical Entry – Australian Dictionary of Biography Online ) at www.adb.online.anu.edu.au〕 Born in Somerset, England, he migrated to Queensland in 1862, and engaged in numerous business interests. At the 1888 elections, he was returned unopposed for the Legislative Assembly seat of Gregory in western Queensland in support of Thomas McIlwraith, a conservative, and held it at the 1893 and 1896 elections against a growing Labour vote. At a time when party politics were still fairly fluid in Queensland, he strongly advocated for the interests of his own electorate even when it conflicted with the conservative parliamentary bloc's policies. He opposed the 1891 strikes as a "revolution against the state", and was a consistent advocate of Federation. Retiring from the seat in 1899, Corfield died in Brisbane, Queensland, on 1 September 1927〔 and was buried in Toowong Cemetery.〔(Corfield William Henry ) — Brisbane City Council Grave Location Search.
