Rex Alan Patterson (8 January 1927 – 13 April 2016) was an Australian politician and minister.

Early life, war service and education

Rex Patterson was born in Bundaberg, Queensland on 8 January 1927.[2] He enlisted for war service on 22 February 1945 in Brisbane, Queensland, during the final months of World War II.[2] He served with the Royal Australian Air Force and was discharged on 25 September 1945.[2]

He was educated at the University of Queensland, the Australian National University, the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago.[3]

Political career

Patterson was elected as an Australian Labor Party member for the House of Representatives seat of Dawson, Queensland at a by-election in 1966. When the Whitlam government was elected at the December 1972 election, he was appointed Minister for Northern Development, responsible for the Department of Northern Development, charged with "overall policy and co-ordination in the development of all of Australia north of the 26th parallel". In this role, Patterson was concerned with the Australian sugar and beef industries as well as the specialised development and utilisation of land, water and minerals in northern Australia.[4]

On 19 October 1973, he was sworn in as Minister for the Northern Territory by Queen Elizabeth II, the only occasion when an Australian minister has been sworn in by the Monarch of Australia directly (rather than by the Governor-General of Australia).[5]

On Christmas Day, 1974, the day after Cyclone Tracy, he flew into Darwin with Major-General Alan Stretton and they took responsibility for rebuilding Darwin. In June 1975, Patterson's portfolios were combined and retitled as Minister for Northern Australia.

On 14 October 1975, following Rex Connor's resignation from the ministry, he became Minister for Agriculture. He lost this position when the government was dismissed on 11 November, and lost his seat in the subsequent election.[3][6] He died on 13 April 2016.[1]
