Sir Walter Angus Bethune (10 September 1908 – 22 August 2004) was an Australian politician and member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. He was Premier of Tasmania from 26 May 1969 to 3 May 1972.Early life[edit]
Bethune was born in Sheffield in north-western Tasmania, and was educated at Launceston Grammar School and The Hutchins School in Hobart.[1] Before entering politics, Bethune worked as a jackaroo.[2] On 15 August 1940, during World War II, he enlisted as an airman and Warrant Officer in the Royal Australian Air Force.[3] He married Alix (Alexandra) Perronet Pritchard of Cluny, Ouse on January 30 1936.[4]Political career[edit]
Bethune was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly at the 1946 general election on 23 November 1946, representing the seat of Wilmot (now Lyons) for the newly formed Liberal Party. On 19 March 1960, Bethune became Leader of the Opposition when the leader of the Liberal Party, Tim Jackson resigned in protest at party disunity and a lack of support for his leadership.[5]
On 7 September 1966, Kevin Lyons (the son of former Premier and Prime MinisterJoseph Lyons) resigned from the state Liberal Party after a dispute over preselection, and on 15 October formed the Centre Party.[6] In 1969, Lyons held the balance of power, and offered his support to Bethune to form government with himself as Deputy Premier. Bethune accepted. This forced Labor Premier Eric Reece to resign on 26 May, making Bethune the first non-Labor Premier of Tasmania in 35 years, and the first to hold the post since the main non-Labor party in Tasmania adopted the Liberal banner in 1946. He also served as his own Treasurer.
During his term as Premier, Bethune introduced a number of important initiatives, although he had pledged to avoid ’revolutionary changes’. Bethune’s government introduced random breath tests to tackle drink driving, made the wearing of seatbelts compulsory, set up the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service, built more schools and tightened state finances.[2]
Bethune was instrumental in the establishment of a Hansard service for the Tasmanian parliament, although he was no longer Premier by the time the system was introduced. Kevin Lyons had lost a vote to introduce Hansard in 1960, and with the Bethune-Lyons coalition in power in 1969, Bethune sought a report into the feasibility of such a transcription service. The report was not completed until 1973, but Hansard was considered by Bethune’s successors Eric Reece and Doug Lowe until finally being implemented in 1979.[7]
In 1972, Kevin Lyons dissolved the coalition between the Centre and Liberal parties, and was highly critical of Bethune. Bethune was forced to the polls, and the instability in his government saw him lose power in the election on a three-seat swing. Labor won a clear majority, and Reece returned as premier.[2]After politics[edit]
Bethune retired from politics on 30 June 1975, and later joined forces with his former rival, Eric Reece, to back the Franklin Dam which they both supported.[2]
Sir Angus died after a short illness on 22 August 2004 in Hobart, aged 95. He was accorded a state funeral which was held on 27 August.[2]Honours[edit]
Bethune was made Knight Bachelor on 16 June 1979 in recognition of service to the Federal Parliament.[8] He was also awarded a Centenary Medal in 2001.References[edit]

Rick is the kind of kid who finds your weakness and makes fun of it. He thinks he’s perfect. He moves everywhere in lock-step with his buddies, little future yes-men who bask in his reflected glory. Both Angus and Rick are on the football team, but the way it works is, when Angus makes a brilliant tackle and forces a fumble, Rick grabs the ball, makes the touchdown and is carried off the field on his teammates’ shoulders.
At least Angus gets a lot of support at home, from his grandpa (George C. Scott), whose lesson for life is ’Screw ’em!,’ and from his mother (Kathy Bates), a truck driver whose CB handle is ’Bruiser.’ They love him and support him, and grandpa tells him he’s not fat - he simply comes from ’hearty stock.’ Life changes for Angus as a result of a practical joke.

(’I don’t just sweat,’ he tells Melissa. ’I rain.’) In ’Angus,’ he swims upstream against one of the most durable prejudices in the cinema. Maybe because Hollywood worships at the altar of physical perfection, fat people are always the targets in movies. Remember the fat computer operator in ’Jurassic Park?’ Typical. But a lot more people look like Roseanne than Demi Moore, or like Forest Whitaker than Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Angus is a hero for them, triumphant, while the beautiful Melissa smiles his way and Rick the golden boy gnashes his no doubt perfect teeth.
