Egerton was born in Emerald, Queensland Emerald , Queensland and was educated at Rockhampton, Queensland Rockhampton and Mount Morgan, Queensland Mount Morgan High Schools. Jack Egerton started work as a boilermaker . He became state secretary of the Queensland Boilermakers Union in 1943, and served as president of the Queensland Trades and Labour Council from 1967 to 1976 president of the Australian Labor Party state executive from 1968 to 1976 and as an executive of the Australian Council of Trade Unions and a member of the ALP s federal executive. In the 1970s, Egerton was Prime Minister of Australia Prime Minister Gough Whitlam s right hand man in Queensland and frequently clashed with the state s conservative Premiers of Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke Petersen . In 1976 Egerton notoriously became the Australian Labor Party s first and only knight although, by contrast, the analogous New Zealand party had, and still has, several knights in its ranks he took to his grave the secret of why he broke Labor tradition and accepted the honour. It is said that the only man who knew the secret was former Senator Albert Field Albert Patrick Field , but Field died in 1990 without revealing anything about the subject. Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser offered the knighthood to Egerton for service to the trade union movement. The award cost Egerton his ALP membership, and earned him the name of Jumping Jack the Black Knight , as well as prompting in some quarters the even more hostile epithet Labor Rat . By odd coincidence, Egerton, the son of a boilermaker, received his knighthood from Governor General of Australia Governor General John Kerr Governor General John Kerr , also the son of a boilermaker.
