Andrew Robertson (politician)

Andrew Robert Robertson (23 November 1865 – 28 June 1934) was an Australian politician.

Robertson was born in Bacchus Marsh to farmer David Robertson and Agnes Bell Gardiner.[1] He attended state school locally and then went to Scotch College. He worked in insurance for two years before inheriting his father's farm, and around 1897 he married Cissie Jane Kilpatrick,[1] with whom he had five children.

In 1903, Robertson won a by-election for the Victorian Legislative Assembly seat of West Bourke, transferring to Bulla the following year.[2] He was a minister without portfolio from 21 March 1918 to 15 April 1919 and again from 31 October 1908 to 8 January 1909.[2] A member of the Nationalist Party's Economy faction, he lost his seat in 1924. Robertson died at Bacchus Marsh in 1934.[2]
