Major General Edmund Alfred Drake-Brockman, CB, CMG, DSO, VD (21 February 1884 – 1 June 1949) was an Australian soldier, politician, and judge.

He was a Senator for Western Australia from 1920 to 1926, representing the Nationalist Party, and later served as a judge of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration from 1927 until his death in 1949.

[1] He was one of seven children born to Grace Vernon Bussell and Frederick Slade Drake-Brockman, both members of pioneer families in the South West.

[1] Following the outbreak of the First World War, Drake-Brockman volunteered for overseas service with the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) and served in the Gallipoli Campaign as a major with the 11th Battalion.

He supported the government's Defence Bill 1921 which would have applied the United Kingdom's Army Act to the Australian military, and warned of Japanese aggression in the Pacific in the context of "the preservation of a White Australia".

Drake-Brockman was a member of several select committees, including that which recommended that the government commission Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia) to develop an overseas radio communication service.

[8] At the annual convention later in the year, he "urged the employers to strenuously resist the rising tide of socialism" and advocated a return to piece work rather than wages.

[9] Drake-Brockman did not recontest the 1925 federal election, in order to allow the Nationalists to put forward a joint ticket with their coalition partners the Country Party.

[3] After his death, Australian Council of Trade Unions president Albert Monk stated he had "understood the actions of the workers when others thought they were acting illogically".
