Carrol Bramich

Carrol Athelstone Bramich (30 October 1893 – 1 October 1964) was an Australian politician. He was born in Penguin, Tasmania. In 1946 he was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly as one of the Labor members for Darwin; he served as a minister from 1948. In 1956 he resigned from the ministry and the Labor Party, and joined the Liberal Party; with the exception of Western Australian Labor MP Vince Catania's defection to the National Party in 2009, this is the most recent example of an Australian MP crossing the floor to join the Opposition. Bramich retired from politics in 1964 and died later that year.^[1]
