Born in Young, New South Wales, he was educated at public schools before becoming the manager and editor of the family-run newspaper in Young. In 1912, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives in the by-election that followed the resignation of member for Werriwa David Hall; Bennett represented the Labor Party. However, he retired before the federal election of the next year, becoming a public servant in Sydney. Bennett died in 1939.[1]
