Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — John Jamieson is an Eastern Suburbs Labor Party stalwart and one of Gough Whitlam's greatest admirers often referring to the period as Labor's Golden years. Known for his love of all old school muscle cars, John can often be seen driving his right hand drive Mustang around the Eastern Suburbs. A Ford Man through and through. While born and breed in Cronulla, John moved to the Eastern Suburbs in the early 90s. In 1989, John started Jamieson Foley & Associates Consulting Engineers and ensured justice for many drivers of old rundown vehicles. John is a forensic engineer and specialist in road safety, working in Australia and internationally. John has been fundamental in shaping the face of Eastern Suburbs progressive Labor politics and has served as the SEC President, as Waverley Branch President, and has been a loyal and long term booth captain at Waverley Public School as well a regular candidate in Waverley Council elections. During the Patricks dispute, John did his bit and provided picketers with needed snacks and refreshments. Wherever and whenever there is a Labor cause, disadvantage or inequity, or a struggle against oppression, John Jamieson will be there, always generous and supporting the comrades.
