Julian McGauran
Résumé
The Honourable former Senator Julian John James McGauran (born 5 March 1957) is a former Australian politician who served as a member of the Australian Senate, representing the state of Victoria. Elected as a member of the National Party, he resigned from the Nationals and joined the Liberal Party of Australia in February 2006. His brother, Peter McGauran, was the National member for Gippsland until 2008, and was Minister for Agriculture in the Howard government.
McGauran attended Xavier College in Kew, Melbourne. Before attending university, he worked in the stables for racehorse trainer Bart Cummings at Flemington Racecourse. At Monash University he obtained a Bachelor of Economics, then becoming a Certified Practising Accountant and then a company director for the McGauran Group of Companies, and a board member of the Victorian Employers' Chamber of Commerce and Industry between 1986 and 1988. He was elected to the Melbourne City Council 1985–88, representing the Central Business District.
During his time at the Council, McGauran called for the popular vote of the Lord Mayor of Melbourne, instead of the traditional means of selection by fellow councillor, in an attempt to curtail the "invariable cronyism" of the Melbourne City Council at the time.
McGauran won National Party preselection for a Senate seat in the 1987 double-dissolution election, and was subsequently elected. Following the announcement of the election results other senators negotiated, against McGauran's objections, to allocate him a three-year rather than a six-year Senate term.
In 1990, due to the circumstances of an historic agreement forming a Coalition Senate ticket he was required to step out of Parliament for three years. In 1993 he was re-elected to the Senate on the Coalition Senate ticket.
On 2 November 1989, McGauran introduced the End of War List (Private Members Bill) into the Senate. The Bill was passed unanimously in the Senate, and was aimed at recognising the "unsung heroes" of the Vietnam War.
