Timeline

1954

Peter John Debnam (born 21 April 1954), is an Australian former politician.

1972

He served in the Royal Australian Navy from 1972 to 1980.

During his Naval career, Debnam served on many ships including the aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne (R21), destroyer escort HMAS Torrens (DE 53), destroyers HMAS Vampire (D11) and HMAS Anzac (D59) and patrol boats HMAS Attack (P 90) and HMAS Barricade (P 98).

After leaving the navy, Debnam studied at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management, where he gained an MBA.

He held positions at Dalgety Farmers Limited, Hawker de Havilland and Australian Aircraft Consortium before entering politics.

1974

Debnam was educated at the Royal Australian Naval College, where he graduated in 1974.

1994

He was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing Vaucluse between 1994 and 2011.

Debnam is a former Leader of the New South Wales Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Minister for Western Sydney, Redfern/Waterloo and Citizenship.

He also held the shadow portfolios of Infrastructure and Energy.

Debnam's early years of schooling were at Frenchs Forest Public School and The Forest High School.

In 1994, Debnam was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, winning a by-election for the safe Liberal seat of Vaucluse.

The following year the Liberal government was defeated by Labor under Bob Carr.

1997

Between 1997 and 2005 Debnam was successively Shadow Minister for Housing and for Planning and Urban Affairs, Shadow Treasurer, Shadow Minister for Transport, Shadow Minister for Police and Shadow Minister for Transport Services.

2003

In response, the Government released a police report stating that a minister had been the subject of complaints (not an investigation), and that they were dismissed in 2003 as spurious and groundless.

The report did not name the minister concerned as it was, deemed to be 'not in the public interest'.

When Mr Debnam declined to provide evidence to support his claims, he was censured by Parliament for misleading the House.

It was subsequently reported that Debnam's source for the accusation was a convicted child sex offender and bank robber with a history of making unsubstantiated allegations.

Opinion poll support for the Opposition leader declined markedly in the wake of the allegations, which also distracted attention from a campaign against the Government over the sacking of Ministers Milton Orkopoulos and Carl Scully.

2005

Following John Brogden's sudden resignation as Liberal Leader in August 2005, the Deputy Leader, Barry O'Farrell, was initially the favourite to become leader, but Debnam steadily gained ground as he lobbied Liberal MPs, and on 31 August O'Farrell withdrew from the contest.

2006

On 16 November 2006, Debnam suggested under Parliamentary Privilege that NSW Attorney-General Bob Debus was under investigation by the Police Integrity Commission.

2007

Peter Debnam led the Liberal/National coalition to defeat in the 2007 state election.

The Coalition gained a total of four seats from Labor and independents—too few to significantly reduce Labor's majority.

Following the election, his deputy, O'Farrell, announced he would challenge Debnam for the Liberal leadership.

When it was apparent that Debnam did not have enough support to keep his post, he withdrew from the contest on 2 April 2007, effectively handing the leadership to O'Farrell.

On 11 April 2007 O'Farrell appointed Debnam as opposition infrastructure and energy spokesman.

2008

He resigned in May 2008 because of his party's decision to support the Labor Government's plan to privatise the electricity system.

2011

He retired from Parliament prior to the 2011 state election.
