John Olsen
John Wayne Olsen, AO (born 7 June 1945) was Liberal Premier of South Australia between 28 November 1996 and 22 October 2001. He unsuccessfully led the party to both the 1985 election and 1989 election. Dean Brown successfully led the party to the 1993 election landslide, however Olsen successfully challenged Brown for the premiership a year before the 1997 election where the Olsen Liberals were reduced to minority government. Due to the Motorola affair where Olsen misled parliament, he resigned the premiership to Rob Kerin several months before the 2002 election where the Liberals lost government. Olsen is the fourth-longest-serving Leader of the Opposition.
==Parliament==
Olsen was first elected to the South Australian House of Assembly at the 1979 election as a Liberal in the seat of Rocky River. He represented this seat, renamed Custance at the 1985 election, until 1990.
Olsen's political career was marked by a bitter rivalry with Dean Brown, the two representing the conservative and moderate wings of the South Australian Liberal Party respectively. After the 1982 election and the electoral defeat and retirement of David Tonkin, Olsen defeated Brown for the state Liberal Party leadership and became Leader of the Opposition. Up against the Labor premier John Bannon, Olsen lost both the 1985 election and 1989 election. In the latter election, while the Liberals won a majority of the two-party vote (51.9 percent) with a five-seat swing, the party came up two seats short of forming majority government.
Olsen resigned as state Liberal leader soon after the election and returned to the backbench. He was appointed to the Australian Senate in 1990 to fill a casual vacancy caused by the resignation of Tony Messner. However, in 1992, he accepted an invitation to return to state politics. The Bannon government was reeling from the collapse of the State Bank of South Australia, but Olsen's successor as state Liberal leader, Dale Baker, had been unable to gain much ground. Members of both factions each persuaded a sitting member in a safe seat to stand down so Olsen and Brown could return to parliament and run for the leadership. Former Deputy Premier Roger Goldsworthy resigned his seat of Kavel in the Adelaide Hills and handed it to Olsen. Olsen returned to the legislature at the 1992 Kavel by-election, on the same day as Dean Brown at the 1992 Alexandra by-election. This time, Brown defeated Olsen in the leadership ballot, and thus became premier when the Liberals won the 1993 election in a landslide where the Liberals won 37 of the 47 seats available, the most that any party has won since the abolition of the Playmander. Olsen became Minister for Industry and Minister for Infrastructure until 1997, when a cabinet reshuffle saw him become Minister for Information Technology and Minister for Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs.
