Perc Tucker

Percy John Robert "Perc" Tucker (5 December 1919 – 20 August 1980) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1] On 20 June 1944 he married Isabel Mary Campbell, a hairdresser, at the Holy Trinity Church in Mackay[4] and together had three sons and a daughter.[2] Tucker died in Townsville in August 1980[1] and his funeral was held at the John Knox Presbyterian church[2] and he was later cremated.[4] Tucker, representing the Labor Party, won the new seat of Townsville North at the 1960 Queensland state elections.[6] Facing an election later that year, Tucker famously vowed to give Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen a "hiding."
