Thomas Drinkwater Chataway (6 April 1864 – 5 March 1925) was an English-born Australian politician. Born in Wartling, Sussex, he was educated at Charterhouse School before migrating to Australia in 1881, where he became a grazier and sugar mill-owner in New South Wales and then Queensland. He was a leader among Queensland cane growers, sitting on Mackay Council and serving as mayor in 1904. In 1906 he was elected to the Australian Senate as an Anti-Socialist Senator for Queensland. He joined the Commonwealth Liberal Party when it formed in 1909. Chataway was defeated in 1913, after which he became a journalist in Melbourne.[1]
He died on 5 March 1925 (aged 60) at his home in Toorak, Victoria.[1][2][3]
