David Henry Drummond (11 February 1890 - 13 June 1965) was an Australian politician and farmer. He was a member of the Country Party and served in both the New South Wales Legislative Assembly (1920–1949) and the Australian House of Representatives (1949–1963).
Drummond was born on 11 February 1890 in Lewisham, New South Wales. He was the fourth son born to Catherine (née McMillan) and Morris Cook Drummond; his parents had immigrated from Scotland.
Drummond's parents died when he was a small child – his mother in 1892 and his father in 1896 – leaving him an orphan. He was also left with hearing difficulties from a childhood infection. He began his education at public schools in Sydney and in 1901 began attending Scots College, but had to withdraw for financial reasons. He was made a ward of the state in October 1902 under the authority of the State Children's Relief Board.
In 1907, Drummond moved to Armidale, New South Wales, to work as a farmhand. He moved to Inverell in 1911 as a share farmer, also managing a wheat-growing property. He was rejected for military service during World War I due to his hearing problem. He was active in the Farmers' and Settlers' Association of New South Wales.
Drummond was elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1920, representing Northern Tablelands for the Progressive Party, which in due course became the Country Party; and from 1927 to 1949 he was the member for Armidale. He was a foundation member of the New England New State Movement. He was Minister for Education from 1927 to 1930 and 1932 to 1941.[1] He established the Armidale Teachers' College in the 1930s and helped establish the University of New England in 1937.
In 1949, Drummond switched to federal politics and was elected to the House of Representatives seat of New England. Drummond retired in 1963 and died in Armidale in 1965.
