Tony Catanzariti

Antonio (Tony) Catanzariti is an Australian politician and citrus farmer living in Griffith, New South Wales. Catanzariti has represented the Australian Labor Party in the New South Wales Legislative Council since the 2003 election.

Before entering parliament, Catanzariti held a number of posts within the Labor party. He also served as a board member at Murrumbidgee Electricity and the Sydney Market Authority; and as a councillor at Griffith City Council.

Catanzariti is married to Mary Catanzariti. They have three sons and a daughter.

Independent campaign allegations

During the 2007 election campaign, the opposition National Party of Australia accused Catanzariti of offering to fund independent candidate Mike Neville's campaign for the Nationals-held seat of Murrumbidgee.

Catanzariti admitted he had suggested Neville stand for the seat, but denied that funding had been offered or provided. Neville was easily defeated in Murrumbidgee by sitting Nationals MP Adrian Piccoli.
