Timeline

1963

David Julian Fawcett (born 23 October 1963) is an Australian Liberal Party politician who has been a Senator for South Australia since 2011.

Fawcett was born on 23 October 1963 in Narrabri, New South Wales.

His family is originally from Kapunda, South Australia.

He spent part of his childhood in Thailand where his father had been sent under the Colombo Plan.

1975

He returned to Australia in 1975 to attend Prince Alfred College in Adelaide.

1985

Fawcett graduated from the Royal Military College Duntroon with a Bachelor of Science in 1985.

He joined the Australian Army Aviation Corps and qualified as a pilot, flying fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

1993

He qualified as a test pilot through the Empire Test Pilots' School in 1993 and was a senior flying instructor at the Oakey Army Aviation Centre, finishing his full-time military service in 2004.

He was posted to Royal Australian Air Force Aircraft Research and Development Unit (ARDU) at Edinburgh, South Australia as an Army helicopter test pilot.

He held a number of positions in ARDU and the Defence Acquisition Organisation, culminating in his final appointment as Commanding Officer, responsible for flight test programs for all of the Australian Defence Force aircraft.

He reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before leaving the ADF to enter politics.

2004

Fawcett was previously elected to federal parliament, serving for one term as member for the House of Representatives seat of Wakefield in South Australia, elected at the 2004 election.

Prior to the 2004 election, the seat of Wakefield had been dramatically altered in a redistribution.

The seat had long been a safe rural Liberal seat stretching from the Yorke Peninsula through to the Riverland and the state's border, but upon the abolition of the safe metropolitan Labor seat of Bonython, Wakefield was moved to take in the outer northern Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth and part of Salisbury, spanning through to the rural mid-north town of Clare—roughly a fifth the size of its former incarnation.

The Liberals held the old Wakefield with a comfortably safe two-party margin of 14.6 points, but the new Wakefield was notionally a marginal Labor seat with a two-party margin of just 1.3 points.

The previous Liberal member, Neil Andrew, believed this made Wakefield unwinnable and opted not to recontest the seat in 2004.

However, Fawcett narrowly defeated the Labor candidate, ex-Bonython MP Martyn Evans, on a swing of 2.2 points, taking the seat on Family First preferences.

2007

Despite an extensive campaign at the 2007 election, Fawcett was defeated by Labor's Nick Champion, suffering a large swing of 7.2 points.

2011

Fawcett was elected as a Liberal Senator in South Australia at the 2010 election and assumed his seat on 1 July 2011.

2014

He served as deputy Government whip in 2014-2016, then from 2016 to 2022.

Fawcett has served extensively in Parliamentary committees, chairing Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade while in government, then as Deputy Chair while in opposition.

Fawcett is a member of the National Right faction of the Liberal Party, after previously being aligned with the Centre-Right faction during the Morrison government years.

Fawcett is married with two children.

He has been involved in leadership positions at Clovercrest Baptist Church in Modbury North, Adelaide and Tyndale Christian School in Salisbury East, Adelaide.

He has been a contributing member of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots and the Australian Flight Test Society.

2018

Fawcett served in the Morrison government as Assistant Minister for Defence from 2018 to 2019.
