Chapman represented the district of Alexandra in the South Australian House of Assembly between 1973 and 1992.[3] He served as Minister for Agriculture when David Tonkin was premier, taking a lead in promoting Australian dry-land farming in the Middle East.
Chapman died in hospital in July 2005 after incurring a brain hemorrhage two months earlier.
His daughter, Vickie Chapman, has served as a state Liberal parliamentarian since the 2002 election, as deputy Liberal leader from 2006 to 2009, and again since 2013, and as deputy premier of South Australia. She lost both positions in November 2021 when she resigned the Deputy Leadership, and thus deputy premier.[4]
