Tom Uren was born in Balmain, NSW in 1921. In 1939 he enlisted

with the 2/1 Heavy Battery in Timor. From 1942 to 1945 he was
a Japanese prisoner of war in Timor, Java, Singapore, on the Burma/Siam
Railway and in Japan.
In 1946-47, Uren worked as a professional boxer in Australia and
England and in 1947 married Patricia Palmer (d.1981). In 1949
he joined Woolworths as Store Manager in Lithgow and in 1952 joined
the Lithgow Branch of the Australian Labor Party. In 1955 Uren
returned to Sydney and in 1958 was elected as Federal Member for
Reid in the House of Representatives.
In 1969-72 Uren was Opposition Spokesman on Housing, Urban Affairs
and the Environment. When the ALP gained government in the 1972
elections, Uren was made Minister for Urban and Regional Development
and in 1973 set up the Committee of Inquiry into the National
Estate which led to the establishment of the Australian Heritage
Commission.
Following Labor's election defeat in 1975, Uren was Deputy Leader
of the Opposition and Opposition Spokesman on Urban and Regional
Development, 1976-77. From 1977-83 he was Opposition Spokesman
on Urban and Regional Affairs, Decentralisation, Local Government,
Housing and Construction. In 1978 Uren was gaoled for his involvement
in a civil liberties rally and march in Brisbane. In 1979 he represented
the Australian Parliament at the funeral of Lord Mountbatten in
London.
After Labor gained power in the 1983 election, Uren served as
Minister for Territories and Local Government and Minister assisting
the Prime Minister for Community Development and Regional Affairs.
In November 1983 he was appointed to the Task Force on Self Government
for the A.C.T. From 1984 until 1987 Uren served as Minister for
Local Government and Administrative Services. After 1987, Uren
returned to the backbench and served as Leader of the Australian
delegation at the International Parliamentary Union. In 1990,
he visited Baghdad to negotiate for the release of Australian
hostages.
In March 1990 Uren retired as Member for Reid.
Throughout his career, Uren maintained an interest in issues relating
to uranium, peace, urban and regional development and the welfare
of former prisoners of war. Uren was made a member of the Order
of Australia in 1993.
