Background and early careerKnight attended Doonside High School and Cranbrook School. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from the University of Sydney and worked for the Campbelltown City Council as a social planner and parole officer before entering politics.[1] Political careerKnight entered the New South Wales Legislative Assembly at the 1981 election succeeding Cliff Mallam who had held the seat for ten years.[1] Originally a member of the left{{endash}}wing faction, Knight defected to right{{endash}}wing faction after a trip in Europe which convinced him that socialism had failed.[2] Knight remained on the back bench until 1995 when he was appointed to the state Cabinet with ministerial responsibilities for Public Works and Services, the Olympics and Roads. His responsibilities were later in 1995 reduced to Roads and Olympics. In 1996 this was further reduced to responsibility for the Olympics, a portfolio he held until his retirement in 2001.[1][2] As Minister for the Olympics he was Chair of the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG). Post political careerIn 2007 Knight was appointed to the Chair of the Board of the Sydney Olympic Park Authority, the body which manages the day-to-day running and future development of Sydney Olympic Park. He was reappointed to the Board as its Chairman in 2013, and his term expires in June 2016.[3][4] Knight was a director of the state–owned corporation, Delta Electricity, until December 2010 when he was one of the four directors who resigned en masse in protest of the privatisation of the generating assets of the company.[5] During 2005 he also served as chairman of Sydney Gas Limited,[6] prior to its takeover by the Australian Gas Light Company.[7] He is also the non-executive Chairman of InfraShore, a public-private partnership consortium between Thiess-Royal Bank of Scotland in charge of the billion-dollar redevelopment of Royal North Shore Hospital.[8] HonoursFor his services to the Olympic movement he was inducted into the Olympic Order.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} In January 2002 Knight was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for service to Olympic and Paralympic sport, particularly in the area of Games' administration, to the New South Wales Parliament, and to the community of Campbelltown.[9] PersonalKnight is married to Anne, and they have two daughters.[1] He is a keen supporter of Wests Tigers rugby league team.[10] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/members.nsf/1fb6ebed995667c2ca256ea100825164/6137631a23c0c266ca256a9500182e3c |title=The Hon.
