Russell Turner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russell William Turner MP (b. May 12, 1941) is an Australian politician, elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.
Turner was born in Sydney and educated at Manly Boys High School. He is married with two sons and one daughter.
Turner has represented Orange for the National Party of Australia since a 1996 by-election following the resignation of Garry West who had held the seat for the previous twenty years.[1] The seat of Orange is a safe National Party seat and has been so for many decades. Russell Turner is only the third person to hold the position since 1947 - more than 60 years. In the 2007 state election he successfully defended his seat and increased his majority when challenged by John Davis, the mayor of Orange who stood as an independent.
