That is the man Sheba, who do you have for us all

John Michael O'Keefe, known as Johnny O'Keefe (19 January 1935 - 6 October 1978), was an Australian rock and roll singer whose career began in the 1950s. Some of his hits include "Wild One" (1958), "Shout!" and "She's My Baby". In his twenty-year career, O'Keefe released over fifty singles, 50 EPs and 100 albums. O'Keefe was also a radio and television entertainer and presenter

Often referred to by his initials "J.O.K." or by his nickname "The Wild One", O'Keefe was the first Australian rock 'n' roll performer to tour the United States, and the first Australian artist to make the local Top 40 charts and he had twenty-nine Top 40 hits in Australia between 1958 and 1973.

Thanks Sheba, This shouldn't be too hard either who is this

You've got it in one BG. Over to you.

Jayne Mansfield (born Vera Jayne Palmer; April 19, 1933 June 29, 1967) was an American movie, stage, and television actress. She was also a nightclub entertainer, a singer, and one of the early Playboy Playmates. Mansfield became a major Broadway star in 1955, a major movie star in 1956, and a major celebrity in 1957.

Mansfield was the only child of Herbert William Palmer (19041936) and Vera Jeffrey Palmer (19032000). She was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Her father was of Germandescent and her mother was of English descent.

After her father's death in 1936, Jayne, her mother, and stepfather Harry Lawrence Peers moved to Dallas, Texas. After high school graduation, she studied acting at Southern Methodist University and the University of Texas at Austin.

Mansfield was killed in a car crash in June 1967. She was going to New Orleans for a television interview when her car crashed into the back of a truck. Her lover Sam Brody and her driver Ronnie Harrison were also killed. Three of her children - Miklós, Zoltán and Mariska - escaped death with minor injuries. An urban legend about Mansfield being decapitated in the crash is untrue. She was buried on 3 July in Pennsylvania. Her gravestone is heart-shaped.

A clue lies within the new TV adverts for McDonalds.

Gday...

 sad how all the guesses seem to wither 

Cheers - John

My TV hasn't been working for a couple of months now.  Won't be for at least another month.

Face looks familiar, but I can't put a name to it.

 

Gday...

Yeah BG ... jest send them the bill.

cheers - John

Bill Withers it is Alana....Not well known in Australia. John (Rockylizard) actually gave the name when you look closely at the clues. Over to you

 

Many thanks

Hopefully this will test those in the know

sorry for the poor quality (from an old paper clipping)

 

I'm trying to work out what that is in the background I think it is a marquee

He is politician

It is a portable gazebo

The picture is from a news article in January 2015

I have no knowledge of a current forced retirement, nothing found in SA news articles

He has recently stated that he will be stepping down in 2019, after 12yrs serving the people

 

I was going to ask was he Barnaby Joyce, who was one of the pollies dismissed for having duel citizenship, but by the clues now given, I would have been wrong

I have no idea who this man is

Gday...

 so are these the clues so far?

• a South Australian politician
• pictured in a newspaper article in January 2015
• he has served in parliament for 12 years (as of 2017?)
• he announced recently (not in the photo provided) that he was retiring in 2019, or
• he announced he was stepping down from his post in 2019.

OH ... and I have absolutely no idea who he may be .. and none of the clues above gave me any joy through Prof Google.

Cheers - John
