Early life and background

John Hatton was born in Hammondville, New South Wales, the son of Harry and Florence Hatton. He was educated at Hammondville Public School, Hurlstone Agricultural High School and Armidale Teachers' College.[2]

He was Foundation President and President for 15 years of the Shoalhaven Combined Progress Associations. [3]

John was the President of the New South Wales Shire of Shoalhavena before his entry into state politics.[4]

State parliamentary career

John was the member for the New South Wales lower house seat of South Coast between 1973 and 1995.[2] A measure of John’s local popularity occurred in the 1976 state election where he polled in excess of 77% of the first preference formal votes.[5] Shortly after becoming elected, John donated a parliamentary pay rise to charity because it had not been granted by an independent body.[6] John Hatton was elected as an independent for this seat for 22 years through the Askin, Lewis, Willis, Wran, Unsworth, Greiner and Fahey governments to 1995.[7] In 1998 John Hatton made NSW Independent history by being elected unopposed. [8]

John Hatton used parliamentary privilege to expose organised crime in the Griffith mafia, police corruption and malfeasance within government departments and agencies.[7] In 1994, by 46 votes to 45, he forced the minority Fahey Government to establish the Wood Royal Commission into Police Corruption. This ground-breaking royal commission overcame objections from the Independent Commission Against Corruption, led to widespread reform of the NSW Police Force and the establishment of the Police Integrity Commission.[7]

Later life

John Hatton continues to advocate for his local community.[9] In 2009 he called for a Royal Commission into property and planning corruption in NSW.[7]

Return to politics

In September 2010, John Hatton announced his intention to stand with a team of 21 independents for the New South Wales Legislative Council at the state election on 26 March 2011. The grouping of candidates were known as the John Hatton Independents Team.[10] John and his team were unsuccessful at the 2011 election.
