Cause Category: Resignation - Other
Notes: Caused by the resignation of John Robertson, his ADB entry citing illness following a leg injury, dejection on the defeat of his government as well as financial problems. The new Jennings government granted him ten thousand pounds in recognition of his 30 years service in parliament and Robertson never again ran for election.
