There was one Labor leader who remained more associated with his place of origin than any other ALP prime minister.

He was born there, he went to school there, he was employed there, he met his wife there, he was on the council there, he chaired the management of the hospital there, his funeral was there, and he was buried there.

His electorate included his home city, which was not a state capital. Even when prime minister he endeavoured to get home regularly, every fortnight or so, although he could only remain home briefly. The freedom of this city was conferred on him towards the end of his life, an honour that perhaps meant more to him than any other.

Who was he and what was his home city?
