He was Assistant Minister of Lands, Assistant Minister of Electrical Undertakings in the third Cain government from 1952–1955. 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.
