Louise Markus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louise Markus (born 6 September 1958), Australian politician, was elected to the House of Representatives as member for the Division of Greenway, New South Wales for the Liberal Party of Australia at the 2004 federal election, in a very close result. She was educated at the University of New South Wales, graduating in social work, and was a community worker running the Hillsong Church's drug and alcohol outreach service in Blacktown prior to entering politics.
Subsequent to the election accusations were made in the NSW State Parliament that Mrs Markus's campaign had inappropriately placed undue emphasis on the Muslim background of her chief opponent.
She lives in Riverstone, in the north of her electorate.
She is married with two children.
