Doug Porter (politician)

Douglas Elliott Porter (24 January 1916 – 27 August 1989) was an Australian politician.

He was a Labor Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1964 to 1965, representing the electorate of Wollongong-Kembla.

He faced re-election just over a year later, and narrowly lost to Hough,[2] in a result that helped ensure the election of the Askin Liberal government.

[1] Porter continued his involvement in local politics after his state defeat, and after initially returning to teaching, purchased a hardware store in 1966.
