Answer the following question: Read the bio below and try to give details on ben humphreys 's: - parliament - successor - constituency mp - party - predecessor - term end - term start - birth date - name - nationality Bio: benjamin charles humphreys -lrb- born 17 august 1934 -rrb- , australian politician , is a former australian labor party member of the australian house of representatives representing the division of griffith , queensland from 1977 to 1996 . humphreys served a six-year term as minister for veterans ' affairs in the ministries of bob hawke and paul keating . in may 1992 , that ministry and humphreys along with it was promoted to cabinet , and humphreys also took over the duties of minister assisting the prime minister for northern australia from senator bob collins . humphreys ' elevation to cabinet was because he was a queenslander and there was a push to get at least one other queenslander to cabinet as queensland in cabinet prior to the may 1992 reshuffle was underrepresented . despite this promotion to cabinet , humphreys was not reselected for a place in the ministry by the alp caucus after the alp 's 1993 election victory ten months later . after 18 years in parliament , humphreys intended to leave politics in 1994 , but delayed his retirement when the man he considered his ideal successor was ready to stand for preselection for griffith -- kevin rudd in 1995 , later to become leader of the alp and prime minister of australia , lost the 1996 election to liberal candidate graeme mcdougall but later won the seat in 1998 . humphreys would perhaps have retired from parliament in 1995 after kevin rudd 's preselection in griffith but decided against it as that would have meant an unwanted by-election not long after the alp 's loss of the seat of canberra in a by-election earlier that year . humphreys was known for his close contact with australia 's south pacific neighbours , and in august 2001 he was part of a commonwealth observer group sent to oversee the 2001 election in fiji .
