Samuel John Duluk is an Australian politician. He has been a member of the South Australian House of Assembly since 2015, representing Davenport until 2018 and then Waite. He is an independent, but was formerly a Liberal.[1]
Early life
Duluk was born in the Victorian city of Mildura, and is descended from post-war migrants from Poland.[2] He was raised in Adelaide and educated at Marryatville High School, then graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) from the University of Adelaide, working as an accountant in the banking industry. He was state president of the South Australian Young Liberal Movement.[3][dead link]
Parliament
Duluk won Davenport at a 2015 by-election, despite a five percent two-party-preferred swing against him, which turned the historically safe Liberal seat of Davenport in to a marginal one for the first time.[4] After a redistribution transferred most of his constituents to the neighbouring seat of Waite, Duluk opted to contest Waite and won.
