Tania Mihailuk (born 5 May 1976) is an Australian politician, currently serving as member of the New South Wales Legislative Council since 2023.[3] She served as mayor of the City of Bankstown from 2006 to 2011.[4]
Mihailuk was the first woman to represent Bankstown in the electoral district's history, serving in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 2011 to 2023. She initially served as a member of the Labor Party before resigning from the party in 2022. She joined One Nation in January 2023[5] and ran for the Legislative Council on the party's ticket at the March election, at which she was unsuccessful.[6][7] Mihailuk was appointed to the New South Wales Legislative Council on 10 May 2023, filling a casual vacancy created by the resignation of Mark Latham, shortly before the 2023 New South Wales state election.[8]
