Lynn Maurice Ferguson Arnold, AO (born 27 January 1949) is an Anglican priest and a former Australian politician, who was the Labor Premier of South Australia between 4 September 1992 and 14 December 1993 at the end of 11 years of Labor government resulting from the 1993 election landslide. After leaving politics, Arnold worked for World Vision from 1997 to 2007, and for Anglicare SA since March 2008. In November 2013 he was ordained a deacon in the Anglican Church. In December 2014 he was ordained priest in St Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide. ==Political career== Entering in Parliament as member for Salisbury on 15 September 1979,〔 〕 he became a Minister with the election of the John Bannon Labor Government in 1982. He served as Minister of Education, Tertiary Education, Agriculture and State Development. Arnold held the seat of Salisbury until it was abolished on 6 December 1985, he then represented Ramsay from 7 December 1985 to 11 December 1993.〔〔(SA Votes 2014: Ramsay )〕 Arnold was elected Labor leader and Premier of South Australia upon the resignation of John Bannon, after the $3.1 billion collapse of the State Bank of South Australia. However, this did not appease voter anger, with the 11-year Labor government losing in a landslide to the Liberal Party led by Dean Brown at the 1993 state election. Labor suffered a 14-seat swing and was knocked down to only 39 percent of the two-party vote, though Arnold himself was elected in the newly created seat of Taylor. Most commentators believe the landslide would have occurred regardless of the leader. Almost a year after the election, Arnold resigned as Labor leader, and left politics. He was succeeded as Labor leader by his deputy, Mike Rann. His resignation sparked a by-election for Taylor on 5 November 1994, in which Trish White retained the seat for Labor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lynn Arnold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
