Changing Times – Lasting Values. The men and women who gave our nation its story
The world is changing. It will not be changed back. The scale and pace of the transformation in
our region and globally challenges us politically, diplomatically and economically.
Beyond the need for our leaders to articulate vision and oversee strategic planning, the nation in
the centenary of the Anzac landings and all that followed, needs more than ever to draw on the
rich repository of its history. For within it is who we were, who we are and the people we strive
to become.
Dr Nelson held the offices of Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence, Minister for
Education, Science and Training. He was Minister for Defence when troops were deployed to
Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor and the Solomon Islands. He oversaw major new investments in
Defence including the decision to purchase 24 FA-18F super hornets, three air warfare destroyers,
and two LHDs.
Dr Nelson served as Leader of the Opposition and as ambassador to the EU and NATO. He was
appointed Director of the AWM in December 2012.
