Joanna Gash (born 21 July 1944), has been a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives since March 1996, representing the Division of Gilmore on the southern coast of New South Wales.

Personal

Gash was born in Groningen, in the Netherlands and immigrated to Australia when she was 6, she was educated at Institute of Administration in Sydney, New South Wales, and was a Regional Manager with the Tourism Commission of New South Wales, a guest house co-proprietor and a member of the Wingecarribee Shire Council before entering politics. Gash was for many years a scripture and Sunday School Teacher and spent many weekends at the Church of England Camps at the Port Hacking River (Camp Howard).

Career

Joanna Gash has remained in power in Gilmore due to the high percentage of elderly conservative voters in the area (much of the Shoalhaven has become a popular destination for retirees).
