From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Gerald O’Brien (known as Gerald) (born 2 December 1924) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party.

He was born in Wellington, and was in the RNZAF from 1943 to 1946.

He represented the seat of Island Bay from 1969 to 1978, when he was defeated. He was apparently deselected for the seat by Labour, and in 1978 ran against the official Labour candidate, Frank O'Flynn.
