Trevor Oldham

Trevor Oldham

Trevor Donald Oldham (10 March 1900 - 2 May 1953) was a former leader of the Liberal Party of Australia in the state of Victoria.

Oldham entered parliament in 1933 as a member of the United Australia Party which was reformed as the Liberal Party in 1945. Oldham served as Attorney General in Thomas Hollway's first government, and he also served as Deputy Premier for 8 months before the Liberals lost office to an Country Party and Australian Labor Party alliance in 1950.

In 1951 Les Norman replaced Hollway as Liberal leader after the party grew lukewarm on Hollway's plan of reforming Victoria's malapportioned electoral boundaries. In a provocative move, Hollway contested Norman's urban-based seat of Glen Iris at the 1952 election and won. With their leader having been defeated the Liberal Party elected Oldham as leader and Henry Bolte as deputy leader. However Oldham died in an air crash in India on the way to England the following year.
