Australian politician
John Adrian Vogels AM (born 14 June 1946, in the Netherlands) has been the Chairman of Wannon Water, a regional Water Authority in Victoria Australia, since 2011. He was an Australian politician. He was a Liberal member of the Victorian Parliament from 1999 to 2010, serving in both the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council.[1]
Vogels attended Noorat Public School 1956–61 and St Thomas’ School in Terang 1961–64. In 1970, he became a dairy farmer. In 1996 he was elected to Corangamite Shire Council, becoming Mayor in 1998. In 1997, he joined the Liberal Party.[2]
In 1999, Vogels was preselected as the Liberal candidate for Warrnambool, a National Party seat. He was elected,[1] and subsequently stood down as Mayor of Corangamite Shire, ceasing to be a councillor in 2000. His seat was abolished in 2002, and he transferred to the Legislative Council, representing Western Province.[1] When the Legislative Council was reformed in 2006, he became the top Liberal candidate for Western Victoria Region, and as such was easily elected.[1] He was Shadow Minister for Local Government and Victorian Communities from 2004 to 2006 and Shadow Minister for Agriculture from December 2006 until February 2008.[1] He retired from politics in 2010.
