John Robert Quigley LL.B. (born 1 December 1948) is an Australian barrister, solicitor and politician in Western Australia. A member of the Australian Labor Party, he has served as a member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly from the 2001 election until the present, initially as the Member for Innaloo (2001-2005) until that seat's abolishment in an electoral redistribution, then as the Member for Mindarie.
Early life
He was born on 1 December, 1948 in Perth, Western Australia, and was educated at Aquinas College, Perth.[Taylor, Robert (2007) "MP melts life badge for Mallard 'tiepin of truth'," The West Australian. December 8, 2007] He was the lawyer for the Western Australian Police Union for 20 years before entering state parliament in 2001. He became an honorary life member of the union in 2000.] Politics
In 2007, his life membership of the Western Australian Police Union was withdrawn after his parliamentary attack on police involved with the Andrew Mallard case, where he named a former undercover policeman.
In 2008, Quigley was cleared by the Corruption and Crime Commission in relation to dealings with lobbyist Brian Burke. Burke approached Quigley in order to launch a parliamentary enquiry that would favour one of Burke's associates.
