Malcolm Fraser (1930-2015) was an influential Australian politician who served as the 22nd Prime Minister from 1975 to 1983. Born into a prominent pastoral family, Fraser entered politics in 1955, becoming the youngest member of Parliament at the time. A member of the Liberal Party, he rose through the ranks, serving in various ministerial roles, including Minister for the Army and Minister for Education and Science.
Fraser became Prime Minister following the controversial dismissal of Gough Whitlam, leading a caretaker government before winning the 1975 election. His tenure was marked by economic challenges and efforts to curb inflation, as well as significant immigration policies and a focus on multiculturalism.
After politics, Fraser remained active in public life, advocating for human rights and criticizing policies of his own party. He is remembered for his contributions to Australia’s political landscape and his shift towards progressive causes in his later years.
