John Pick (politician)

John Edward Pick (16 November 1869 – 21 March 1951) was an Australian pastoralist and politician.

In 1892, his father took up Braemar Station, sixty miles north-east of Burra, and Pick took over ownership of the property in 1902.

[4][2][5] He was a vice-president of the Stockowners' Association of South Australia from 1925 to 1930, and was patron of the Port Augusta Racing Club from 1914 until his death.

The three members cited a disputed preselection plebiscite which they argued had been designed to defeat O'Loughlin, and neglect of rural regions by the Liberal Union as reasons for their defection.

[11] The report formed the basis of subsequent legislative reforms, and upon his death the Transcontinental described Pick's contribution as "outstanding work", with his "wide experience and practical knowledge...a great advantage".
