DescriptionFrank Cooper was born in New South Wales and worked for the Westinghouse Brake Company in 1900 before arriving in Ipswich and taking up a position at the Railway Workshops on behalf of the Westinghouse Brake company during the early 1900s. Cooper was an instrumental figure in the 1912 general strike which saw him dismissed from his position after he supported the Union in their role. Shortly after this event in 1915, he was elected as a state member for Bremer under the Labor party where he subsequently served for 30 years. During this period he also served as an Alderman in Ipswich from 1924 to 1927. In 1942 he was elected Premier and Treasurer of Queensland. He died in 1949.
