Johnstone was born in Raglan and educated at Auckland Grammar School. He served in the NZEF from 1916 to 1918 and farmed sheep and cattle in the Raglan area.[1]
He won the Raglan electorate in 1946 in the by-election caused by the death of the previous MP Robert Coulter. However, he only held the electorate from 5 March to 27 November 1946 as he was defeated by Alan Baxter in the 1946 general election.[2]
In 1949 he won Raglan back for National, and held it to 1957 when he instead contested and won the Waipa electorate. He held this seat until his retirement in 1963.[2]
