Stuart Rowland Robert (born 11 December 1970) is an Australian politician. He has been a member of the Australian House of Representatives for the seat of Fadden in Queensland representing the Liberal Party since the 2007 federal election; and then the Liberal National Party since the 2010 federal election. Robert served in the Abbott Ministry as the Assistant Minister for Defence from 18 September 2013 until 20 September 2015. Following a change of prime minister in the preceding week, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull appointed Robert to the roles of Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Minister for Human Services and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Centenary of ANZAC with effect from 21 September 2015. ==Background and early years== Robert was born in Victoria and spent his early years growing up on a sugar cane farm in Bundaberg, Queensland. In his maiden speech to parliament, Robert attributed the development of his working ethic to those early years spent with his parents, watching them struggle to provide the best education and family unit possible. They would later embark on a range of successful small business ventures. Robert was educated at Rockhampton Grammar School where, at the age of 17, he secured a scholarship to the Australian Defence Force Academy as an Army Officer Cadet. Following the Academy, Robert attended the Royal Military College Duntroon. He completed a Masters in Business Administration at Central Queensland University, a Masters in Information Technology at the Queensland University of Technology and graduated from the University of New South Wales with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours. In 2008 Robert noted, "My family, like many others, struggled financially to ensure that my siblings and I could enjoy the best possible education. I completed my schooling at the Rockhampton Grammar School, and my experience there strengthened my resolve that parents should be able to send their children to a school of their choice. I note that many parents struggle and sacrifice to do so. I firmly believe the federal government has a responsibility to support the private school system as the states do the public system."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stuart Robert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
