Rodney Mark Cavalier AO (born 11 October 1948) is a former Australian politician, statutory officer and author. Cavalier was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing Fuller between 1978 and 1981 and then Gladesville between 1981 and 1988 for the Labor Party. During his term in parliament, Cavalier was Minister for Energy, Minister for Finance, and Minister for Education in the Wran and Unsworth governments.[1]

Biography

Cavalier's father was of Italian extraction, originally surnamed Frank Cavallari, his mother of Scottish background, named Elizabeth.[2] He grew up in the Sydney suburb of Putney, attending the local public school before moving to Fort Street Boys' High School and the University of Sydney, where he studied government and became increasingly involved in left-wing politics. His father, Frank Cavalier, was an architect and designed the family home in Lloyd Avenue, Hunter's Hill, in the Sydney School Modernist style in 1969.[3][4] Cavalier worked for the Australia Council, for the Miscellaneous Workers' Union, as an aide to Whitlam minister Clyde Cameron, and was an alderman on Hunter's Hill Council.[1][2]

In 1978 he was elected member for the state seat of Fuller, representing the Australian Labor Party. He famously unseated Opposition Leader Peter Coleman in his own electorate amid that year's massive Labor landslide. Fuller was abolished in 1981, and Cavalier followed most of his constituents into Gladesville, which he held until his retirement.

He served as Minister for Education from 1984 to 1988 in the Neville Wran and Barrie Unsworth governments.[1] He was noted for his abrasive personality, reformist zeal and intolerance of sloppy work.[2] One left-wing Teachers' Federation activist described him as "the rudest, most pugnacious individual to hold office".[2] Though the President of the Federation, after he lost office, noted that Cavalier "had a genuine commitment to public education". He lost office, and his seat, in 1988, and subsequently declined an offer to return to State Parliament in the seat of Granville or by way of the Legislative Council.[2]

A Fellow of the University of Sydney, he was chairman of the Australian Language and Literacy Council (1991–1996). He was also deputy chairman of the National Council for the Centenary of Federation (1997–2001) and chairman of the Sesquicentenary of Responsible Government in NSW (2002–2006): two bodies which published over 60 books on various aspects of Australian history and culture. He was a member of the Council of the National Library of Australia (1989–1998)[2] and a member of the Council of the State Library of New South Wales (2013–2015).

Cavalier is an book collector and cricketer[2] and his appointment to the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust fulfilled his longtime ambition. He was a trustee (1996–2014)[5] and chairman (2001–2014). At the completion of this, record, term the Trust made him a Life Member.[6] He is also an Honorary Life Member of the Marylebone Cricket Club.

He is currently the chairman of the C.E.W. Bean Foundation and the Southern Zone of Country Cricket New South Wales.

Cavalier has published widely on governors, the workings of cabinet, premiers, political cartoons, the uses of diaries and has also published extensively on the subject of cricket. He has also been the editor of the monthly newsletter of the Southern Highlands Branch of the Australian Labor Party.

In January 2001 he was presented with the Centenary Medal for "service to Australian society and the Centenary of Federation".[7] In January 2004, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for "service to the community as a contributor to a range of cultural, literary and sporting organisations, to education and training, and to the New South Wales Parliament".[8] In June 2008, he was awarded a Doctor of the university (honoris causa) by the University of Technology, Sydney.[9]

He now resides in Bowral, New South Wales with his family.
