Distinguished and Famous people from The Hastings Valley
🏛️ Sir Edmund Barton
Before becoming Australia’s first prime minister, Edmund Barton represented Hastings-Macleay in the New South Wales parliament during the final years of the federation campaign. His election there in 1898 returned him to the Legislative Assembly at an important moment in the constitutional debate. He became prime minister in 1901 and later a founding justice of the High Court. His representation of Hastings-Macleay coincided with the decisive years of the federation campaign. It links the district’s voters with a political career central to the creation of the Commonwealth.
