Brian Langton

Brian Joseph Langton (24 January 1948 – 17 October 2023) was an Australian Labor Party politician, who served both as mayor of Kogarah in the St George area of Sydney and as the member for Kogarah in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.

Prior to Parliament, he went to school at Marist Brothers, Kogarah and was an investment banker and manager of a travel company.

In 1983, Langton was elected to the New South Wales Parliament as a Labor Party member for Kogarah and served continuously in that role for sixteen years.

The ICAC deemed that Langton had sought advantage for himself by deliberate deception of the Parliamentary Accounts Department.
