Len Reid

Len Reid

Leonard Reid (21 September 1916 - 22 April 2003) was a former Liberal Party of Australia member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly and the Australian House of Representatives.

Reid served as a fighter pilot in both the RAAF and the RAF during World War II and ran a diary farm in Cranbourne, Victoria before being elected to the Electoral district of Dandenong at the 1958 Victorian state election. Reid served as the member for Dandenong for 11 years before resigning his seat to contest the newly created federal Division of Holt, which covered much of the same area as Dandenong, at the 1969 Federal Election. Reid won narrowly, but was defeated at the 1972 Federal Election partly due to the swing that ousted the McMahon government and partly due to demographic changes which saw Dandenong develop as a major industrial centre.
