Charles Andrews

Charles Andrews (25 December 1834 – 2 July 1895) was an Australian politician in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. Andrews served as the member for Geelong twice; first in 1880, and then between 1886 and 1894.

Andrews was first sworn in to parliament in May 1880 when he successfully contested the electoral district of Geelong in the February 1880 Victorian colonial election. Despite receiving only the second highest number of votes (behind Graham Berry), he was elected MP as Geelong was a three-member seat at the time. Andrews suffered electoral defeat in July of the same year in the July 1880 Victorian colonial election.

After his electoral defeat, Andrews established a softgoods business on Flinders Lane 1882 and later an accounting practice in Hawthorn, Victoria.
