Caine was born at Brisbane, Queensland, to parents James Joseph Caine and his wife Emily (nÊe Wells) and was educated at Brisbane Normal School and Brisbane Grammar School.[2] He began his career as a Solicitor, becoming a partner in Bergin, Caine & Macrossan with the business operating from 1911 until 1924. He was called to the bar in 1913.[2]

Political career

Caine's first attempt to enter Queensland Parliament came in the 1908 state election when, as a Ministerialist candidate, he contested the seat of Bowen, losing to the Labour candidate, Francis Kenna.[3] Just one year later, parliament was dissolved, and another state election had to be held. Caine stood again for the seat of Bowen, but once again he was unsuccessful, this time losing to Myles Ferricks, another Labour candidate.[4][5]

Caine finally found success at the 1912 state election, when he defeated Ferricks to win the seat of Bowen.[6] Caine held the seat for just one term, losing to Charles Collins in 1915.

Personal life

On 12 June 1901, Caine married Cecilia Jane Anthony (died 1950) and together they had four daughters.[2] He died in Rockhampton in September 1956[2] and his body was bought back to Brisbane for burial at Toowong Cemetery.[7]

gollark: Create a new section "Bees" %bees.Create a rule "Bee utilization part 1" (%bees-1) in %bees:> The deployment status of bees is considered part of the Game State. No bee action (except for bee deployment) may be taken unless bees are currently deployed. Bee actions include deployment of bees, which makes bees become deployed, cessation of bees, which makes bees not be deployed, and use of bees against a player. The player bees are to be used against must be indicated in the Bee Poll authorizing this action. Use of bees against players causes their Points quantity to be reduced by 1, unless it is already 0, in which case there is no effect.Create a rule "Bee Poll" (%bee-poll) in %polls:> A Bee Poll is required to authorize bees to perform actions, as described in %bees. The default allowed reactions for a Bee Poll are 👍 (representing a vote for) and 👎 (representing a vote against). Bee Polls may be closed if they have existed for 12 hours or more, rather than the usual 24. If a Bee Poll is passed, the action it describes is taken. Players are permitted to use multiple reactions on a Bee Poll.Due to the passage of proposal #207, bees are to be considered "deployed" initially.
gollark: I've had to write up very precisely specified bee utilization/deployment rules for Quonauts, and I'm still worried there might be exploits!
gollark: ++delete the internet
gollark: You don't have to. You can just not do that.
gollark: It's a cool cheap software-defined radio thing.
