Nagle was born in Sydney, and studied at Benedict Boys High School, Macquarie University and the University of Sydney. He worked variously as a lawyer, union official and TAFE teacher before entering politics. He also served a stint in the Army Reserve from 1962 to 1967, and was elected to the Auburn Council from 1970 to 1976.[1]
Nagle won election to the safe Labor seat of Auburn at the 1988 election on the retirement of Wran government minister Peter Cox. He was re-elected in 1991, 1995 and 1999, before retiring mid-term in 2001, resulting in a by-election that was won by Labor candidate Barbara Perry.[1]
