In 1912 he was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council. He left the Labor Party in the 1916 Labor split over conscription, following fellow pro-conscription members into the Nationalist Party. He was Minister for Labour and Industry from 1922 to 1925 and from 1927 to 1930. Later a member of the United Australia Party and the Liberal Party, he was Chairman of Committees from 1934 to 1946.
