He later worked at a tannery for a period, and then in September 1903 joined theNew South Wales Government Railwaysas a "shop boy" at the Bathurstlocomotive shed.[5]Over the following decade, he was promoted through the ranks to engine-cleaner andfireman, and then finally in March 1914 toengine-driver.[6]Who would take medical advice from a former furniture salesman?
That’s a small sample of the history on a Prime Minister that was good enough to lead the Nation............ somehow I don’t believe his work experience held him back.
