Roberts was born in Bunbury, and attended Bunbury High School. After leaving school, he worked as a livestock auctioneer. He enlisted in the Australian Army in November 1939, and served as a lieutenant with the 2/11th and 2/33rd Battalions in Europe. After being discharged in 1944, Roberts returned to Bunbury, where he became the managing director of a local department store, Haywards.[1] A founding member of the Liberal Party, he was elected to parliament at the 1955 Bunbury by-election, caused by the death of the sitting Labor member, Frank Guthrie.[2] He was re-elected three times (in 1956, 1959, and 1962), but, like his predecessor, died in office. Roberts had married Dorothy Harriet Christey in 1951, with whom he had three children.[1] References1. ^1 George Frederick Roberts – Biographical Register of Members of the Parliament of Western Australia.
