Peter Staples

Peter Staples (born October 15, 1947 in Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian politician. He was first elected to Parliament in 1983 as the Member for Diamond Valley, then represented Jagajaga after Diamond Valley was abolished in 1984. In 1987, he was appointed Consumer Affairs Minister by Prime Minister Bob Hawke in his third ministry; Staples would remain a junior minister for nearly six years, serving as Minister for Housing and Aged Care and later Aged, Family and Health Services in the Hawke and Keating Ministries. He lost his portfolio in a 1993 cabinet reshuffle, and spent the remainder of his career on the backbenches until his retirement from politics in 1996.
