John Vaughan (Australian politician)

John Howard Vaughan CBE (14 November 1879 – 21 August 1955) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the South Australian Legislative Council from 1912 to 1918, representing the United Labor Party (1912-1917) and the National Party (1917-1918). He served as the Attorney-General of South Australia from 1915 to 1917.[1]

In the 1917 Labor split, Vaughan was expelled along with his brother, Premier Crawford Vaughan, and joined the new National Party.[2][3] Upon the defeat of the Vaughan ministry in July 1917, Vaughan did not nominate for a position in the new coalition ministry of Archibald Peake, and enlisted to serve in World War I.[4][5][6] He was controversially opposed at the 1918 election while away on active service, and being unable to campaign was defeated by Labor candidate Tom Gluyas.[7][8]
