Peter Cochran (politician)
Peter Lachlan Cochran (born 28 January 1945) is a former Australian politician. He was the National Party member for Monaro in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1988 to 1998.
Cochran was born in Albury in New South Wales. He enlisted in the Army in 1965 and was sent to Vietnam in 1969, returning in 1970. He left the main force in 1972, and was a reservist from 1977–79. Commissioned as a Justice of the Peace, he farmed near Adaminaby after leaving the armed forces and became involved in the National Party.
In 1987 he stood unsuccessfully as the National candidate for the federal seat of Eden-Monaro, but came third after Labor MP Jim Snow and Liberal candidate David Evans, obtaining 16.4% of the vote. Nevertheless, this was a large increase from the 1984 result of 3.9%. In 1988, Cochran was selected as the Nationals' candidate for the state seat of Monaro, previously a marginal Labor seat. Cochran defeated sitting member John Akister and also warded off an attempt by the Liberal Party to win the seat. In parliament he acted as liaison between the parliamentary party and the Young Nationals. He was re-elected in 1991 and 1995, but resigned from parliament on 26 October 1998, shortly before the 1999 election.〔
In 2001, Cochran returned to prominence as an independent candidate for the federal seat of Eden-Monaro, one of several prominent independents to nominate for that election. Cochran came third behind the Liberal and Labor candidates, with 8.2% of the vote.
