Peter Graham Faithfull Henderson, {{post-nominals|country=AUS|size=100|AC}} (1 October 1928 – 25 September 2016) was an Australian senior public servant. He was Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs between 1979 and 1984. He was also well known for being the son-in-law of Robert Menzies.

Early life and marriage

Peter Henderson was born in October 1928.[1] In May 1955, Henderson married Heather Menzies, daughter of Robert Menzies, the Australian Prime Minister.[2][1][3] They had their first child, a daughter, in March 1956, in Jakarta.[4]

Career and later life

Henderson began his career in the Australian Public Service in the Department of External Affairs in 1951.[1]

He was appointed Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs in 1979.[5] During his time at the department he introduced rules to prevent couples being posted together, which was interpreted by those it affected as a "pincer movement" against career equality for female diplomats.[6]

At the end of his public service career in September 1984, Henderson was offered the choice of a demotion or retirement—he chose to retire, and denounced the Australian Government for using the diplomatic service as a "depository... for people they want to get rid of in Canberra".[7]

Henderson died in Canberra on 25 September 2016.[8][9]

Awards

In January 1985, Henderson was made a Companion of the Order of Australia in recognition of distinguished public service.[10]
