Alan Stewart (Australian politician)
Alan Gibson Stewart (born 28 March 1938) is a former Australian politician. He was the Labor member for Manly in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1978 to 1984.
Born in Manly, Stewart attended public schools at Harbord and Manly before studying at Sydney Technical College, Wagga Wagga Agricultural College and Macquarie University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts. He worked briefly as a jackeroo from 1954 to 1955, and married Wilma Bonner on 2 May 1959, with whom he had five children. He was active in the Australian Labor Party as President of the Harbord branch and a delegate to the Manly State Electoral Council.[1]
In 1978, Stewart won the traditionally Liberal seat of Manly after sitting member Douglas Darby's retirement. He narrowly held the seat in 1981, but was defeated by David Hay in 1984.[2]
