Malcolm

much of Malcolm's childhood. They lived in a series
of flats, mostly rented.
Malcolm
was educated at Vaucluse Public School and Sydney

at Sydney Grammar was assisted by a scholarship.
Seventeen
years ago Malcolm arranged for an additional means
tested scholarship to be established at Sydney
Grammar in memory of his late father.
Malcolm

He won a Rhodes Scholarship and completed a further

During
and after his studies at Sydney University, Malcolm
worked as a journalist with the Bulletin, 2SM,
TCN 9 and the London Sunday Times.
After
a successful career in journalism Malcolm began
practicing law in 1980. He quickly established
a reputation as an effective advocate, most notably
when he successfully defended former MI5 agent
Peter Wright against the British Government, in
the "Spycatcher" trial.
Malcolm
left law for business in 1987 where he has since
been responsible for the establishment and success
of many Australian businesses. In particular he
has been a determined supporter of Australian
technology. He co-founded OzEmail in 1994. His
software companies have won many awards for exporting
Australian technology.
In
1997 Malcolm was elected to attend the Australian
Constitutional Convention. He led the republican
case in that Convention and in the subsequent
referendum.
Malcolm
has initiated numerous policy and research projects
in areas such as education, indigenous affairs,
home ownership affordability, balancing work and
family responsibilities and national population
and fertility policy. He has been Chair of the
Menzies Research Centre since 2001.
Malcolm
married Lucy Hughes in 1980. Their two children,
Alex and Daisy attended local schools and are
now completing University.
Lucy
and Malcolm have been partners not only in marriage
but also in their many businesses. Lucy was the
first female Lord Mayor of Sydney, a position
she held until early 2004.
Malcolm
was elected as the Federal Member for Wentworth
at the general election on 9 October, 2004.
Malcolm
has had a long interest in water policy and water
conservation in particular. On 24 January 2006

for water policy.
