Tony Aquilina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony Saviour Aquilina (June 1, 1950 - September 18, 2003) was an Australian politician. A former mayor of Penrith, he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Australian Labor Party member for the seat of Mulgoa. He switched to the seat of St Marys in 1991 after Mulgoa was abolished, but his second term was beleaguered by scandal, and then-Opposition Leader Bob Carr forced him to resign at the 1995 election in order to end the associated bad publicity. In 1996, he was found guilty on fraud charges and spent a year in prison. He died in 2003 after a long illness.
He is not related to John Aquilina, the current Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
