Dave Rugendyke

Dave Rugendyke

David Ross "Dave" Rugendyke (born 3 April 1953) is an Australian politician and was a member of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly elected to the multi-member of Ginninderra for the Osborne Independent Group. Rugendyke was elected on the Osborne Independents ticket at the 1998 general election but sat as an independent in the Assembly.[1] He sought re-election at the 2001 general election on his own ticket, but was unsuccessful.[2]

Prior to Rugendyke entering politics, he was a police officer.[3] Together with Osborne, Rugendyke entered politics on an anti-gay marriage, pro-life[4] stance. However, on taking up his seat in the Assembly, Rugendyke claimed that his focus has always been on social justice and welfare and declared himself an Independent member.[5]
