Political career

Wise was a strong supporter of the federation of Australia and stood unsuccessfully in 1892, 1894 and 1904 for election to the Victorian Legislative Assembly. He also failed to be elected to the Australian Senate in the 1901 elections and 1903 elections, but won the House of Representatives seat of Gippsland in 1906 elections by 97 votes from Allan McLean as a Protectionist. He could not accept the creation of the Fusion in 1909 and stood as an independent in 1910 and gained 62 percent of the vote against the Commonwealth Liberal Party (Fusion) candidate. He subsequently often supported the Australian Labor Party, but did not join it. The Liberal Party candidate, James Bennett beat him at the 1913 elections, but he won Gippsland back in 1914.

Wise won the 1917 easily as a Nationalist. Billy Hughes appointed him as an honorary minister, assisting the Minister for Defence from March 1918 to February 1920. He was Postmaster-General from February 1920 in the fifth Hughes Ministry, but lost his position in the reshuffle when Stanley Bruce was brought into the ministry in December 1921. He was almost defeated by the Country Party in 1919 and he lost to its candidate, Thomas Paterson in 1922. He failed to win the seat back in 1925 and 1928.

Wise continued to practice as a solicitor until 1948 and died in Sale in 1950, survived by three daughters and a son.
