- Peter Jeremy Baldwin (born 12 April 1951) is a former Australian politician. He was an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives from 1983 to 1998. Baldwin was born in Aldershot, Hampshire, England. His family moved to Australia in 1958. He attended Normanhurst Boys' High School in Sydney, later receiving a BEE from the University of Sydney, and a BA from Macquarie University. Baldwin was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1975 to 1982. In the 1970s he was prominent as a left-wing activist in the Australian Labor Party (ALP), seeking to break the grip over the corrupt right-wing machine that controlled many inner-city branches of the party. As part of his campaign he uncovered rorting of the books in the Enmore branch of the ALP. On 16 July 1980, he was brutally assaulted in his Marrickville home. Pictures of his battered face were prominent in newspapers and led to increased pressure for reform of the party. No one was ever charged with the assault. Subsequently it has been alleged that the bashing was undertaken by underworld figure Tom Domican acting on suggestions from Labor state secretary, Graham Richardson. In March 2007 Richardson won a settlement against Fairfax of AUD $50,000 for defamation on the basis of this report. Baldwin held the seat of Sydney in federal parliament from 1983 to 1998. He served as Minister for Employment and Education Services in April 1990, Minister for Higher Education and Employment Services from May 1990 to March 1993, and Minister for Social Security from March 1993 to the defeat of the Keating government in March 1996.
