Robert Stuart Ives (born 16 December 1938) is a former Australian politician.
He was born in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and attended Eastern Goldfields High School. He graduated from the University of Western Australia in 1959 with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours), adding a Diploma of Education in 1960 and a Master of Arts in 1963. He worked as a teacher, and in 1965 moved to Melbourne, where he became a management consultant with BCA. Having joined the Labor Party in 1967, he was officer-in-charge of the Personnel Practice Section of the Commonwealth Department of Labour and National Service from 1972 to 1974. In 1975 he became a lecturer in Management and Organisational Behaviour at Swinburne College of Technology before joining the staff of Senator John Button in 1978. He returned to Swinburne in 1982, leaving again in 1986 to work as a government liaison officer to the Victorian Ministry for the Arts. He joined Senator Barney Cooney's staff in 1987.[1]
Ives was active in Labor Party branches, serving as president of the Balwyn branch from 1973 to 1978, and secretary of the Kooyong Federal Electorate Committee from 1973 to 1978 and 1982 to 1984. He was a state conference delegate (1975–86), member of the Administrative Committee State Branch (1980–89) and secretary of the Foreign Affairs Policy Committee (1986–90)
