Robert Leslie (Bob) Graham JP (born 19 May 1943) is an Australian politician. He was a Liberal Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 1988 to 1991, representing the electorate of The Entrance.[1]

Graham was elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 1988 state election, and ran for re-election at the 1991 election. He initially appeared to have won reelection over Labor challenger Grant McBride by 116 votes.[2] However, due to the late completion of the 1991 redistribution, hundreds of voters received absentee ballots for Gosford. As a result, the Court of Disputed Returns ordered a by-election for 1992, which was won by McBride.[3]

Wyong Shire Council

Graham was elected to Wyong Shire Council as a Councillor for B Ward at the September 1999 election, and would be re-elected a further three times in 2004, 2008 and 2012. Served five terms as Mayor (2005–2007, 2008–2010, 2011–2012) and four terms as Deputy Mayor (1999–2000, 2002–2004, 2010–2011). Graham has been a Justice of the Peace (JP) since 1971.[4][5]
