Tina Ayyad is an Australian politician. She was elected a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing Holsworthy for the Liberal party in 2023.[4] Ayyad previously served as a councillor of City of Liverpool.[5]
Political career
During the election campaign for the 2023 New South Wales state election, Ayyad was subject to a racist and islamophobic campaign targeting her Muslim faith. Fake pamphlets made to look like official campaign material were distributed across the electorate of Holsworthy, including the suburb of Barden Ridge.[2] She said "I condemn the racism and hatred that the pamphlets represent and it's something that doesn't belong in our community."[6]
Ayyad defeated incumbent Melanie Gibbons for preselection as the Liberal candidate for Holsworthy. She was elected at the 2023 New South Wales state election, suffering a 5.3-point swing against her.[7]
Personal life
Ayyad is married to City of Liverpool mayor Ned Mannoun and has 3 children.[5] Ayyad is a Muslim.[8]
