Peter McLellan
Frederick Peter McLellan (20 October 1942 – 18 September 1999) was an Australian politician.
Early life
[edit]McLellan was born in Melbourne in 1942, attending Holy Name Primary School in East Preston and Taylor's College.[1]
Career and death
[edit]From 1956, he worked for Rhodes Motor Company before joining the Army in 1961; he served in the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1967. [1]
From 1969 he was a road service patrolman with the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria until he became a self-employed motor mechanic in 1976.[1]
A member of the Liberal Party, McLellan was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly in 1992 as the member for Frankston East.[2] He served on the Road Safety Committee, but on 24 July 1998 resigned from the Liberal Party[1] to sit as an independent. He recontested his seat at the 1999 state election, but died on election day[3] in Frankston; the election for his seat was postponed, which delayed a clear result since the election had resulted in a hung parliament.[3]
