William John Ferguson (14 November 1891 – 29 January 1961) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the
Labor Party (ALP).[1]
Ferguson was born in
Waverley Municipal Council in 1941 and retained this position until 1955. On 3 September 1953, he was indirectly elected to the Legislative Council for the remainder of the term of Charles Anderson who had resigned. However, Clarrie Martin, the member for Waverley died 2 days later and Ferguson resigned his seat in the Legislative Council, after serving only 16 days, to contest the resultant by-election. Ferguson was duly elected and retained the seat at the next election in 1956. The seat and the neighbouring seat of Paddington were abolished and combined into the seat of Paddington-Waverley at a redistribution before the 1959 election. The Labor member for Paddington, Maurice O'Sullivan retired and Ferguson won the new seat. He died as the sitting member in 1961. He did not hold party, parliamentary or ministerial office.[1]
