David Julian Fawcett (born 23 October 1963, Narrabri, New South Wales) is an Australian politician and member of the Australian Senate. He was elected to the House of Representatives as member for the division of Wakefield in South Australia for the Liberal Party of Australia at the 2004 federal election. The seat had been dramatically altered in a redistribution. It had long been comfortably safe Liberal seat in the rural area north and east of Adelaide, but had been pushed into the heavily pro-Labor northern suburbs of Adelaide, becoming notionally Labor as a result. He narrowly defeated Martyn Evans, the former Labor member for Bonython, on Family First preferences. Despite an extensive campaign in 2007 he was unseated by a significant margin by Labor's Nick Champion. At the 2010 federal election he was elected as a Liberal senator for South Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Senate Results - South Australia - 2010 Federal Election )〕 ==Before politics== Fawcett spent part of his childhood in Thailand where his father worked as an agricultural scientist.
