David DickerDavid Edward Dicker (21 April 1882 – 7 February 1967) was an Australian politician. He was born in Clarence. In 1909 he was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly as a Labor member for Franklin. In 1917 he was charged with treason over anti-British statements, which led to his removal from the Public Works Committee.[1] In January 1922, the Labor Party refused his nomination for preselection for his seat at the 1922 election over a dispute relating to past organising work with the Australian Workers' Union.[2] He nominated to recontest his seat as an independent, and was expelled from the party for disloyalty in May before going on to lose his seat.[3][4] He was refused readmission to the Labor Party as late as 1935, but was eventually readmitted.[5] Dicker died in Gordon in 1967.[1] References
