About James Ormonde Australian Politician
- James Patrick Ormonde (23 March 1903 – 30 November 1970) was a Scottish-born Australian politician.
- Born in Fife, he migrated to Australia as a child and was educated at Catholic schools in Maitland, New South Wales.
- He became a journalist first with the Labor Daily and then with the Sydney Morning Herald.
- In 1958, he was appointed to the Australian Senate as a Labor Senator for New South Wales, filling the casual vacancy resulting from the death of Labor Senator Bill Ashley.
- He was re-elected in the 1958 election, but the remainder of Ashley's term was filled by Colin McKellar; thus, Ormonde was not a Senator between 22 November 1958 and 1 July 1959.
- He remained in the Senate until his retirement in 1970; however, he died before his retirement took effect in 1971 and Jim McClelland, who had been elected to replace him, filled the vacancy.
