Meet Your Local Delegate – Mark Delohery

Mark Delohery

Burwood Depot

Why did you become involved in the union?
 I was talked into getting involved by the exec at the time, and then three weeks later he resigned, leaving me to take his place. Since then I’ve never looked back. I like fighting for peoples’ rights and I want to make sure that no one is bullied or harassed at work. Everyone deserves to be treated in the right way.

What are your hobbies and interests?
I like building racecars and racing with my son – I most recently built a skid/burnout car. I also like sci fi movies.

Where do you live and why do you like it? I grew up in Maroubra but moved to St Marys 34 years ago. I love the area and get along well with the people who live there. It’s almost in the country, if you drive for five minutes you’re in the scrub. I’d never move back to the city.

Who would you like to have dinner with (dead or alive) and why?
 I’d like to have dinner with my cousin, Miranda Kerr. A lot of people don’t believe that she’s my cousin but my mother was a Kerr and is her aunty.
