Brian Charles Fitzpatrick (17 November 1905 – 3 September 1965) was an author, historian, journalist and one of the founders of the Australian Council for Civil Liberties.
Fitzpatrick was born in Warrnambool, Victoria, the seventh of eight children. His father died when Brian was 14 years old. Brian rebelled against his oldest brother's management of the family after his father's death.
Fitzpatrick was educated at Essendon High school and then at the University of Melbourne on a scholarship. He graduated Bachelor of Arts (with honours) in 1925 and Master of Arts in 1934. At the university he was a founder and chief of staff of Farrago, the student newspaper, and also a founder of the Melbourne University Labor Club.
From 1925 to 1935 he worked as a journalist in London, Sydney and Melbourne. He married Kathleen Fitzpatrick on 28 August 1932, but they separated in 1935.
In 1937 Fitzpatrick won the University of Melbourne's Harbison Higinbotham Scholarship with his manuscript of British imperialism and Australia 1783–1833; it was published by George Allen and Unwin in 1939. A sequel, The British Empire in Australia: an economic history, 1834–1939 was published in 1941. In 1940 Fitzpatrick was appointed a Research Fellow in the Department of History, University of Melbourne. He took leave during the war, working for the Commonwealth Rationing Commission and then the Department of War Organisation of Industry. He resumed his fellowship with the University in 1944 and remained there until 1947.
He attended St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic school in Glasgow before studying law at Glasgow University. Between 1985 and 1992, he worked as a solicitor.

The big health care lie GOP candidates tell voters
Ahead of the midterm elections, House Republicans are ignoring their own voting records and vowing to protect coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. Of the 73 Republicans in House races deemed competitive by the Cook Political Report, 67 voted at least once to gut these protections. Still, many Republicans are running ad after ad touting their support for the policy they tried hard to weaken.
CORRECTION: The Center for American Progress Action Fund report mistakenly confused the voting record of Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) for his brother's, Mike Fitzpatrick, who represented the same district until 2017. The number of Republicans who voted at least once to weaken protections for pre-existing conditions is 67, not 68.

Rep. Gottheimer believes immigration reform is ‘going to take patience and political courage’
Despite the Caucus working on immigration for years, Rep. Gottheimer was optimistic about passing reform but gave no timeline.
“We need to have tough borders to protect our country, but also live up to our values. There’s a way to do this, but it’s going to take reform. It’s going to take us all actually doing the hard stuff. We’ve been working on this as a Caucus for years… So I think we’re going to have to look at real, comprehensive reform, obviously protect our DREAMers, obviously have tough borders, but then solve… how do you deal with where the intake is and have due process so you protect the people who need protecting…It’s a very tough thing that we’ve got to grapple with, and I think Brian and I and a group of us can really come up with some answers here, but it’s going to take p...
