John Malcolm Fraser, known throughout his life as Malcolm Fraser, was an Australian politician and grazier who served as the 22nd Prime Minister of Australia from 11 November 1975 to 11 March 1983.
Born on 21 May 1930 in Toorak, Melbourne, Victoria, he was the younger of two children of John Neville Fraser, a pastoralist of Scottish descent who had trained as a lawyer, and Una Arnold Woolf, whose family background included Jewish ancestry.
Raised largely on family sheep stations, first at Balpool-Nyang in the Riverina district of New South Wales and later at Nareen near Hamilton in western Victoria, Fraser was educated at Tudor House in New South Wales and Melbourne Grammar School before studying philosophy, politics and economics at Magdalen College, Oxford.
