Jillian Koshin's biography of Eric Reece (1909-1999), twice Premier of Tasmania (1958-1969 and 1972-1975) and Opposition Leader in between. Born in Mathinna, Reece entered the House of Assembly in 1946 and spent 28 years on the front bench without ever sitting on the back bench. Known as 'Electric Eric' for his championing of the Hydro-Electric Commission and the expansion of Tasmania's hydro-electric power schemes, he resigned from Parliament in 1975 under the ALP's mandatory retirement age of 65.
