Neville George Warburton (23 February 1932 – 5 August 2018)[1] was an Australian politician from Queensland, who served as leader of the opposition from 1984 to 1988, and as a minister in the Goss Ministry from 1989 to 1992.

Warburton was appointed deputy opposition leader in Wright's shadow cabinet, despite having served only five years in parliament.

Peter Bowers, a columnist with the Sydney Morning Herald declared that Warburton was "...a straight up and down politician, no charisma, no nonsense".

Warburton also made overtures to the Liberals, offering to form a coalition government with them in order to break the National Party's grip on power.

Warburton stayed on the opposition frontbench at the invitation of Goss, and when Labor won power for the first time in over thirty years at the 1989 election, he was appointed as Minister for Employment, Training and Industrial relations.
