Karen McNamara

Formerly the Federal member for Dobell at the northern end of the NSW Central Coast. She lost her seat in July 2016 to Emma McBride.

McNamara was very lucky not to fall foul of ICAC. As Treasurer of the local branch she declared about $11,000 in fundraising on the EFA returns, but at a speech to the party faithful boasted about having raised closer to $100,000. She got away with it legally, but Emma McBride is now the new ALP member for Dobell. McNamara was a "noddie".
