David Albert Lloyd Johnston (born 14 February 1956), Australian politician, has been a Liberal member of the Australian Senate since July 2002, representing the state of Western Australia. Johnston was born in Perth and was educated at University of Western Australia, where he graduated in law. He was a barrister in Kalgoorlie before entering politics.
On 6 March 2006, Johnston was made Minister for Justice and Customs (effective 9 March), following the resignation of Senator Ian Campbell from the Human Services portfolio and Campbell's replacement by former Justice minister Chris Ellison.[1]
Malcolm Turnbull, on becoming Leader of the Opposition, promoted Johnston to the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Minister for Defence. In September 2010 he was re-appointed to that role by Opposition leader, Tony Abbott, after the 2010 election.[2]
