John Paul Fulbrook is an Australian politician. He has been a Labor Party member of the South Australian House of Assembly since the 2022 state election, representing Playford.[1] Fulbrook holds an arts degree from Flinders University and a business degree from Edith Cowan University. Before entering parliament, he worked his first job in retail, followed by the Property Council of Australia, Immigration Department and SA Department for Education. He later served as an advisor to the Rann and Weatherill governments, followed by a period advising in planning to the Northern Territory government.[2]
During his first term in Parliament, Fulbrook led calls to increase urban densities around railway lines, to encourage urban regeneration around existing infrastructure, while also bolstering public transport patronage.[3] As a backbencher, he moved to clarify the legal position regarding council by-laws and minors’ access to public toilets, helping remove ambiguity around the issue.[4]
Like many of his political colleagues, Fulbrook received an indefinite ban to enter Russia, following his criticism of the Putin regime within State Parliament [5]. During this debate, he presented that South Australians had no issue with the Russian people and could clearly draw the distinction between the broader population and the tyranny of Russia's leadership[6].
Personal life
Fulbrook lives in his electorate in Parafield Gardens with his son. In October 2025, his wife, Briony, died after a battle with cancer.[7]
