Harold Holt

Harold Edward Holt (August 5 1908 - December 19 1967) was an Australian politician and the 17th Prime Minister of Australia, now best remembered for the bizarre circumstances of his death.

He was born in Sydney, the son of Tom Holt, a well-known theatre director, but he was educated at schools in Melbourne and at the University of Melbourne, where he graduated in law. He practised briefly as a solicitor before being elected to the House of Representatives for the United Australia Party in 1935.

At 27 Holt was one of the youngest members of the House, but his obvious ability brought him rapid promotion to the ministry in 1939. In 1940 he joined the Army, without resigning his seat. Shortly afterwards three Cabinet ministers were killed in an air disaster at Canberra, and the Prime Minister, Robert Menzies, recalled Holt from the Army to become Minister for Labour and National Service. This earned him the ironic nickname "Gunner Holt."

Holt had a reputation as a high-living playboy, but in 1947 he married Zara Fell, a fashion designer, and adopted her three young children from a previous marriage. After eight years in opposition from 1941 to 1949, Holt returned to office in Menzies's new Liberal government in 1949 as Minister for Labour and National Service and Minister for Immigration. In this position he continued and expanded the massive immigration program begun by his Labor predecessor, Arthur Calwell.

In 1956 Holt became Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party and thus Menzies's heir apparent. In 1958, when Sir Arthur Fadden retired, Holt succeeded him as Treasurer (finance minister). His career was nearly derailed in 1961 when his economic policies caused a recession which came close to losing the 1961 election for the Liberals. But his stocks, like the economy, soon recovered, and in January 1966 he finally succeeded Menzies as Prime Minister. He had been an MP for 30 years - the longest wait of any (non-caretaker) Australian Prime Minister.

Holt\'s major challenge in office was the Vietnam War, to which Menzies had committed Australian troops in support of the United States. In October 1966 US President Lyndon Johnson toured Australia at Holt's invitation, and in December he called an election on the slogan "All the Way with LBJ." Holt had an enormous victory over Labor, whose leader, Calwell, bitterly opposed the war.

In 1967, however, Gough Whitlam succeeded Calwell as Labor leader, and proved a much more effective opponent. At the 1967 Senate elections the Liberals lost a number of seats. Some Liberals, free of the strict discipline of the Menzies years, began to plot against what they saw as Holt's weak leadership.

On 17 December 1967, Holt went swimming at Cheviot Beach on Point Nepean near the holiday resort of Portsea, south of Melbourne. Apparently seeking to impress his friends, Holt, who was 59 and had had a recent shoulder injury, plunged into the surf. He disappeared from view and was never seen again. Despite an extensive search, his remains were never found. He was officially presumed dead on 19 December.

Holt was an affable and well-liked figure in politics, and Australians of all political views were saddended by his death. President Johnson returned to Melbourne for his memorial service.

There were many rumours about Holt's death, such as that he had committed suicide or faked his own death in order to run away with his mistress. In 1983 the British journalist Anthony Grey published an apparently serious book in which he claimed that Holt had been a agent for the People's Republic of China and had been picked up by a Chinese submarine off Portsea and taken to China. The most likely explanation is that Holt was caught in the strong undertow off the surf beach and swept out to sea.

Holt's passing is commemorated by an unusual memorial, considering the manner of his passing - The Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Centre, a swimming pool.

TECHNICALITY, n. In an English court a man named Home was tried for slander in having accused his neighbor of murder. His exact words were: "Sir Thomas Holt hath taken a cleaver and stricken his cook upon the head, so that one side of the head fell upon one shoulder and the other side upon the other shoulder." The defendant was acquitted by instruction of the court, the learned judges holding that the words did not charge murder, for they did not affirm the death of the cook, that being only an inference.
