He was born in Wynnum to Thomas Bourke Shaw and Edna Eileen (née Reese). He attended Manly State School, Wynnum State High School and Central Technical School, becoming a clerk with Eagers Motors in Newstead in 1950 and then an apprentice plumber for Alan Moore & Co. Later he was a water supply, health and sewerage inspector for Brisbane City Council, to which he was elected in 1967.

A Labor member, he was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1977 as the member for Wynnum. From 1982 he was Opposition Spokesman on Welfare, Aboriginal and Islander Affairs, moving to Local Government in January 1983 (to which Main Roads and Racing were added in November). In 1987 he lost his Labor endorsement and became an independent, retiring in 1989. [1]
