In 1862 he emigrated to Victoria and was appointed a Crown Prosecutor in 1863. He succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1877 on the death of his brother, Colman, and in the same year he was elected, in absentia, to the House of Commons for County Clare, replacing his brother, but did not take his seat.

O'Loghlen was a radical liberal in Victorian politics: he favoured breaking up the estates of the landowning class (who were mainly English and Scottish Protestants) to provide land for small farmers, and ending the power of the landowner-dominated Victorian Legislative Council. The Legislative Council, or upper house is one of the two chambers of the Parliament of Victoria, Australia.

When Berry's third government resigned in July 1881, O'Loghlen succeeded him as leader of the liberal forces and became Premier - the second Irish Catholic to hold the position. His government was described as "unspectacular", and "a collection of party rebals [sic], Catholics and opportunists.

Sir Thomas Bent ( 7 December 1838 – 17 September 1909) Australian politician was the 22nd Premier of Victoria. At the March 1883 election the liberals were defeated and O'Loghlen lost his seat.
