Hon Christopher Pyne

Christopher Maurice Pyne (born 13 August, 1967), Australian politician, has been a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives since March 1993, representing the Division of Sturt, South Australia.

Pyne was born in Adelaide, South Australia, and was educated at Saint Ignatius College, South Australia, the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia. He is married and has three children.

Pyne was a solicitor, a research assistant to Senator Amanda Vanstone and President of the South Australian Young Liberals (1988-1990) and working in Ian Wilson's Electoral Office before entering Parliament, whom he defeated for pre-selection for the seat of Sturt for the 1993 election. He is a member of the moderate faction in the South Australian wing of the party. He was Minister for Ageing after the resignation of Santo Santoro in March 2007 until the defeat of the Howard government at the 2007 election. Pyne has a strong stance of illicit drug prohibition (versus harm minimisation).

Following the Liberal Party's defeat at the 2007 federal election, Pyne put himself forward as a candidate for Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party. In a ballot of Liberal caucus members, Julie Bishop prevailed with 44 votes, ahead of Andrew Robb who won 25 votes and Pyne 18 votes.
