Deirdre Grusovin

Deirdre Grusovin

Deirdre Mary Grusovin (born 1 September 1938) was a member of the New South Wales Parliament for twenty five years.

Grusovin was born Deirdre Mary Brereton in Sydney, and is the sister of influential former politician Laurie Brereton.

Initially elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council in 1978, she remained in office until 1990. During this time she was Minister for Consumer Affairs and Assistant Minister for Health 1986-88 and Minister for Small Business 1987-88. In 1990 she ran in a by-election in Heffron, winning a seat in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly. She was re-elected in 1991, 1995 and 1999.[1]

Grusovin resigned in 2003, followed defeat in a bitter preselection battle with Kristina Keneally in 2002. Grusovin threatened to take her case to the Supreme Court, but ultimately stepped aside and Keneally succeeded her in 2003.[2]
