About Dick Klugman
- Richard Emanuel "Dick" Klugman (18 January 1924 – 21 February 2011) was an Austrian-born Australian politician. Born in Vienna, Klugman migrated to Australia in 1938 at the age of 14, in order to escape the Anschluss (his family was Jewish).
- Having graduated from the University of Sydney, he became a doctor, and was resident medical officer at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital before starting work (1954) as a general practitioner in the city's western suburbs. In 1969, Klugman was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for the new seat of Prospect, itself a western-Sydney constituency.
- Klugman held the Prospect seat until his retirement in 1990.
- Although he did not hold any ministerial offices, he was better known and more widely respected than many who did.
- A firm anti-communist, he was one of the few federal parliamentarians who in 1976 boycotted the House of Representatives' tributes to the recently deceased Chairman Mao.
