Born in Brisbane,[1] he was educated at Brisbane Grammar School before becoming the director of his family's boot manufacturing firm.[2] In 1931, he married Ettie Louise Dunlop. Morris served in the military 1939–1944, in Britain (1940), Tobruk (1941) and Egypt (1942); rising to the rank of Major. A founding member of the Liberal Party in Queensland, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in 1944 as the member for Enoggera,[1] transferring to Mount Coot-tha in 1950.[1] Morris was state Leader of the Liberal Party 1954–1962, Deputy Premier 1957–1962, and Minister for Labour and Industry 1957–1962.[1] In August 1962 he stepped down temporarily due to health reasons, and moved to Cooktown where he cultivated legume seed.[2] In December 1963, he won a special election for a Senate seat in Queensland, filling the vacancy caused by the death of Labor Senator Max Poulter and to which George Whiteside had been appointed. Morris defeated Whiteside 50.6% to 49.4%. He retired in 1967. Morris died in 1978 at Chermside, Brisbane.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Former Members|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|year=2015| url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=90464382|accessdate= 10 February 2015}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before=George Taylor}}{{s-ttl|title=Member for Enoggera|years=1944–1950}}{{s-non|reason=Abolished}}{{s-new|seat}}{{s-ttl|title=Member for Mount Coot-tha|years=1950–1963}}{{s-aft|after=Bill Lickiss}}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Morris, Kenneth}}{{Australia-Liberal-politician-stub}}2. ^1 Morris, Sir Kenneth James (1903–1978) — Australian Dictionary of Biography.
