Robert McCutcheon

Robert George McCutcheon (1841 – 20 October 1918) was an Irish-born Australian politician.

His family migrated to Victoria around 1858; Robert spent a year in Calcutta as a printer and then became a journalist in Ballarat and Port Fiary.

On 13 December 1867 he married Mary Ebblewhite, a prominent member of the Australian Women's National League; they would have eight children.

In 1873 he moved to Melbourne to assume his brother's place in the printing firm Mason, Firth & McCutcheon, which he owned exclusively from 1878.

He was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for St Kilda; a Liberal, he nonetheless opposed Thomas Bent's government in 1908.
