George Hubble

George Yorke Hubble (28 November 1858 – 22 March 1906) was an Australian politician who was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1897 to 1901 (excluding a brief gap in 1899),[a] representing the seat of Gascoyne.

Hubble was born in Bendigo, Victoria, where his father had arrived during the Victorian gold rush.

In 1896, he moved to Carnarvon (the largest town in the Gascoyne region), where he opened a general store.

He was re-elected unopposed at the resulting by-election, but chose not to re-contest his seat at the 1901 general election.

He died in East Perth in March 1906, aged 47, having killed himself by cutting his neck with a razor.
