Nola Therese Fraser (née Chalhoub) is an Australian small business owner, former Registered Nurse and former Liberal Party and Independent candidate for the New South Wales state seat of Macquarie Fields.
[3] On 5 November 2002 Nurses Valerie Owens, Sheree Martin, Yvonne Quinn and Fraser, accompanied by solicitor John Chalhoub, met with the then NSW Health Minister Craig Knowles as whistleblowers, detailing multiple episodes of substandard clinical practice that had resulted in patient death and injury, and ongoing failures of clinical governance processes at Camden and Campbelltown Hospitals, for which there had been systemic inaction by senior management to address, and for which retaliatory action, including intimidation, against those reporting such incidents had been occurring, including directly from the then General Manager Jennifer Collins.
[3] Meanwhile, commencing from February 2003, Fraser (and to a lesser extent Sharee Martin and Vanessa Bragg) had been actively putting pressure, together with the then New South Wales Opposition Leader, Liberal Party member John Brogden, on the then Premier of New South Wales Bob Carr and his government, through numerous media outlets, including on the Alan Jones radio program on broadcaster 2GB.
[11] Fraser again stood as the Liberal Party candidate at the 2007 election for Macquarie Fields, where she achieved a similar result, with the seat being retained for Labor by Andrew McDonald.
[11] Fraser again contested the 2011 election for Macquarie Fields, but this time as an Independent, where she came in third, behind the Labor and Liberal candidates, with 10.5% of the vote, with sitting member Andrew McDonald retaining the seat.
