In December 2018, Southwick was appointed the Shadow Minister for Police, Shadow Minister for Community Safety, and Shadow Minister for Corrections.[3] He is a member of the Liberal Party. Early lifeSouthwick was born and raised in Caulfield and completed his High School Certificate at Mount Scopus Memorial College. He studied for a Bachelor of Business at Victoria University. In 1991 he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship in recognition of his service on the University Council. Business careerWhile at university Southwick started his business career including being founding and serving as managing director of The Body Collection. In this business, he employed 50 staff. Southwick has also been the director or managing director of The Market Stars Group, ICE Events Pty Ltd and David James Investments Pty Ltd. Political careerSouthwick was the Liberal candidate for the Division of Melbourne Ports in the 2004 federal election, achieving a swing of almost 2 points against the incumbent MP Michael Danby. In the 2006 state election he was a Liberal candidate for the Southern Metropolitan Region, narrowly missing out on being elected. He was elected in 2010 as the Member for Caulfield and delivered his first speech on 8 February 2011. He is also Chair of the Parliament's Education and Training Committee and one of the Parliament’s inaugural representatives on the board of the Victorian Responsible Gaming Foundation (VRGF). In November 2012, it was revealed that Southwick had misleading personal information on his website. He claimed to have been an 'Adjunct Professor' at RMIT, and that he had a graduate diploma in marketing from Monash University, despite being a few units short. Both universities stated that Southwick had never obtained the qualifications referred to. The information was subsequently removed from his website.[4][5][6] Southwick responded to the claims by saying that 'Adjunct Professor' was a title used to refer to him while undertaking teaching overseas on behalf of the RMIT Graduate School of Business in Hong Kong, when he was an Adjunct Lecturer.[7] During July 2013, in a first for Victorian members of parliament, Southwick launched David Southwick.TV. The purpose of the website was to provide video updates to Caulfield residents about local events and issues in Victorian politics.[8] At the time Southwick said: "As a fan of technology and emerging new media I have established this website so that local residents can access up to date and engaging video content including what is going on in their own neighbourhood. This content is delivered in a way that the viewer can watch in their own time as if they are part of the action"[8] Policy positionsIn 2015, Southwick was one of 13 MLAs who voted against banning anti-abortion campaigners from protesting outside abortion clinics.[9] Prior to the 2018 election, Southwick expressed his opposition to Safe Schools, the aim of which is to stop bullying towards LGBT students.[10] Southwick has objected to aggressive renewable energy targets, and promised to stop Labor's target.[11] In the voluntary assisted dying vote, Southwick voted against the legislation.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2004/s1200005.htm|title=Jewish candidates fight for Melbourne Ports seat|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|accessdate=24 August 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Mr David Southwick|url=http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/members/id/1703|publisher=Parliament of Victoria|accessdate=14 December 2010}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Victorian Coalition announces shadow cabinet of 24, with 10 new faces, led by Matthew Guy|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-17/victorian-coalition-announces-their-shadow-cabinet/5973004|website=ABC News|publisher=ABC|accessdate=17 December 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news |last1=Arup |first1=Tom |title=MP sorry for padding his resume |url=http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/mp-sorry-for-padding-his-resume-20121116-29hop.html |accessdate=2018-11-21 |work=The Age |date=2012-11-16}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/liberal-mp-david-southwick-defends-false-qualifications-in-official-biography/story-e6frf7kx-1226517696924|title=Liberal MP David Southwick defends false qualifications in official biography|publisher=Herald Sun|accessdate=16 November 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/blog-with-derryn-hinch/remember-the-name-david-southwick/20121116-29h2b.html|title=Remember the name David Southwick?|publisher=3AW|accessdate=16 November 2012}} 7. ^http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/liberal-mp-david-southwick-defends-false-qualifications-in-official-biography/story-e6frf7kx-1226517696924 8. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/1342344|title=David Southwick.TV brings politics to the people through new video website|publisher=Digital Journal|accessdate=7 July 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web |title=How your Vic MLAs voted on "Buffer Zones" |url=https://www.righttolife.com.au/resources/article-archive/176-who-voted-for-against-buffer-zone-bill-house-of-assembly |publisher=Right to Life Australia |accessdate=2018-11-21}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=https://aleph.org.au/2018/11/15/caulfield-candidates-forum-what-is-the-liberal-party-doing-to-strengthen-support-for-lgbtiq-people/|title=Caulfield Candidates Forum: What is the Liberal Party doing to strengthen support for LGBTIQ people?|date=2018-11-15|work=Aleph Melbourne|access-date=2018-11-28|language=en-US}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=https://takvera.blogspot.com/2017/02/open-letter-to-david-southwick.html|title=Open Letter to David Southwick, Victorian Shadow Minister for Renewables|last=Englart|first=John|date=2017-02-22|website=Open Letter to David Southwick, Victorian Shadow Minister for Renewables {{!}} Climate Citizen|access-date=2018-11-28}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.dyingforchoice.com/blogs/coalition-unrepresentative-swill-vad|title=Coalition the 'unrepresentative swill' on VAD {{!}} DyingForChoice.com|website=www.dyingforchoice.com|language=en|access-date=2018-11-28}} External links
