His mother, Elizabeth, (Lady Betty Wilson CBE), was a granddaughter of Sir John Langdon Bonython, owner of The Advertiser and a member of the first federal House of Representatives, and a great-granddaughter of Sir John Cox Bray, South Australia's first native-born premier. Wilson was educated at St Peter's College and Adelaide University, where he graduated in law, and at Magdalen College, Oxford (S.A. Rhodes Scholar 1955), where he did a higher law degree. He was a solicitor and company director before entering politics. In 1966, Wilson was elected to the House of Representatives for the Adelaide seat of Sturt, which his father had held with one break since 1949. It was considered a fairly safe Liberal seat, but at the 1969 election there was a strong swing to Labor in South Australia, and Wilson was unexpectedly defeated by Norm Foster, a waterside worker. In the 1972 election, after spending a great deal of family money, Wilson regained the seat even as Labor won government. He held it without difficulty for over 20 years. Wilson was typical of upper-class South Australian Liberals from the "Adelaide Establishment" in being relatively moderate on most issues. He was a serious Anglican and active in many charitable and social welfare groups. This did not make him popular with the more conservative wing of the party. When the Liberals came to power under Malcolm Fraser in 1975, he was initially passed over for ministerial preferment in favour of the more conservative John McLeay. In 1981, McLeay was dropped from cabinet and Wilson was appointed Minister for Home Affairs and the Environment. In 1982 he was shifted to Aboriginal Affairs, a notoriously unpopular portfolio in Coalition governments. He held this position until the defeat of the Liberal government in 1983. He was not included in the Opposition Shadow Ministry after the elections, and remained as a backbencher. He lost Liberal pre-selection ahead of the 1993 election to Christopher Pyne, 35 years his junior, and retired after the election.[1] Wilson died in Adelaide on 2 April 2013, aged 80.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |title=Costello backer gets his reward |publisher=The Age |date=19 March 2007 |url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/costellobacker-pyne-gets-his-reward/2007/03/18/1174152881566.html |accessdate=12 December 2007}} {{S-start}}{{S-off}}{{S-bef|before=Michael MacKellar}}{{s-ttl|title= Minister for Home Affairs and the Environment |years=1981–1982}}{{S-aft|after=Tom McVeigh}}{{S-bef|before=Fred Chaney}}{{s-ttl|title= Minister for Aboriginal Affairs |years=1982–1983}}{{S-aft|after=Clyde Holding}}{{s-par|au}}{{Succession box| title=Member for Sturt | before=Keith Wilson | after=Norm Foster | years=1966–1969}}{{Succession box| title=Member for Sturt | before=Norm Foster | after=Christopher Pyne | years=1972–1993}}{{S-end}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wilson, Ian Bonython Cameron}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Former Federal Minister Ian Wilson dies|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-02/former-liberal-minister-dies/4605850|work=abc.net.au|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|accessdate=4 April 2013}} 13 : 1932 births|2013 deaths|Liberal Party of Australia members of the Parliament of Australia|Australian Rhodes Scholars|University of Melbourne alumni|Alumni of Magdalen College, Oxford|Members of the Australian House of Representatives for Sturt|Members of the Australian House of Representatives|People from Adelaide|Bonython family|Members of the Order of Australia|People educated at St Peter's College, Adelaide|20th-century Australian politicians |
