Some Famous People called Peter Nugent
Peter Nugent
Peter Edward Nugent (1 April 1938 – 24 April 2001) was an Australian politician who served as the Liberal Party member of parliament for the Division of Aston in the Australian House of Representatives from 1990 to 2001.
He entered parliament when he defeated the incumbent Labor candidate, John Saunderson, in the 1990 federal election. However, he died suddenly at his home on the morning of 24 April 2001, from a myocardial infarction. This triggered a by-election for Aston, which was won by the Liberal candidate Chris Pearce.
In his time in parliament, Nugent was known as a moderate in the Liberal Party, with a passion for human rights and the well-being of indigenous Australians.
