Tony Stewart (politician)

Anthony Paul Stewart (born 23 November 1956), a former Australian politician, was a Member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing the electorates of Bankstown and Lakemba between 1995 and 2011 for the Labor Party.

He was dismissed by Premier Nathan Rees after allegations that he had verbally and physically harassed a staff member.

[1] Stewart later sought to challenge these allegations in the Court of Appeal which held that the decision to withdraw his commission as a minister was not subject to judicial review.

The Labor Party endorsed Bankstown Mayor, Tania Mihailuk, as its candidate for the election held in March 2011.
