FORMER Howard Government minister Amanda Vanstone has signed on as a director of Port Adelaide.

Vanstone, a passionate Port Adelaide supporter who spent 23 years in federal parliament, accepted an invitation to join the board from new president David Koch.

"I was delighted to be at the Grand Final in 2004 to see Port Adelaide's first AFL Premiership and like all supporters I want to see that again, for the club's sake and for South Australia's" Vanstone said.

"We're going to need some fighting spirit and the Port Adelaide Football Club has plenty. It is one of their very admirable qualities.

"One thing Australians really admire is a group that can go through a tough time, rebuild and come out stronger. It is as true for football clubs as it is for people. That's what we intend to do as we build an exciting future."


Vanstone, 59, held several senior posts in the Howard Government including serving as Minister for Immigration from 2003-07.

She served as a SA senator from 1984-2007 and was Australia's ambassador to Italy from 2007-10.

"Amanda is a passionate Port Adelaide supporter who brings global thinking, a worldly perspective and a wealth of local, national and international experiences to the club," Koch said.

"She will help our push towards best practice in all that we do and be an important contributor to the renewal of Port Adelaide, the strengthening of the club's brand and the pursuit of our vision for its future."
