Fred Paterson (1897 - 1977), was the only Communist Party of Australia (CPA) representative to be elected to Parliament, as Member for Bowen between 1944 and 1950.
Graphic, headlined 'Red October: Fred Paterson (1897-1977). Quotation from Paterson: "what then is the cause of poverty and economic insecurity? Can anyone suggest that they went without fruit because our fruit trees ceased to bear fruit? And can anyone suggest that we went without manufactured goods because our machinery ceased to turn and our artisans had lost their skill? Not on your life!
