Bryce Gaudry

Bryce James Gaudry (23 November 1942 – 4 October 2019) was an Australian politician, elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing Newcastle.

In May 2003 he was appointed as a parliamentary secretary by New South Wales Premier Bob Carr following the state election earlier that year.

The controversy around the selection led to around 130 members of the Newcastle ALP branches, then the largest in the state, leaving or being expelled.
