Trish Draper

Patricia "Trish" Draper (born 2 April 1959), Australian politician, has been a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives since March 1996, representing the Division of Makin, South Australia. She was born in Adelaide, South Australia, and was educated at the University of South Australia. She was a nurse before entering politics. She is often distinguished in parliament by her wearing of a red-blue-yellow scarf, showing her support for the Adelaide Crows.

She first won her seat after defeating the sitting ALP member Peter Duncan in 1996.

A poll by The Advertiser in August found her trailing ALP candidate Tony Zappia, the mayor of Salisbury 56-44 on a two party preferred basis. However in the election of 2004 she once again won the seat of Makin.

Draper has announced that she will not recontest preselection for her seat for the upcoming 2007 election.[1]
