David Oldfield

David Oldfield made the jump to broadcasting after an outspoken and illustrious political career spanning almost 20 years.  Having worked across all three tiers of government as a local councillor, state parliamentarian and federal advisor, David brings a unique insight on politics, policy and personalities to the airwaves.  After a decade running his own small business and his national success as a sportsman, he's no stranger to life's hurdles.

David first joined 2GB in November 2007 as a summer talkback host and, with his unique mix of news, life experiences and quick wit, soon became the permanent anchor on the highly successful Midnight to Dawn shift. He almost doubled the audience within the space of 12 months.  Since May 2010, David has been a familiar voice around 2UE, hosting the weekly current affairs programme Legal Matters and filling in across Mornings, Afternoons and Drive.  

In 2011, David will host the 2WEB Morning Show, dissecting news, current affairs and entertainment.  He's committed to talking about what really matters.  David opposes political correctness, calls a spade a spade and takes no prisoners.  His tenacity and determination to pursue a story to the end makes for informative, nuanced, dynamic and always entertaining radio. 

David and his wife Lisa have been married nearly 10 years and celebrated the birth of their first child Harry in late August. They spend much of their free time in the company of their furry and feathered friends - three Horses, three Parrots and two Jack Russells.
