Portrait of Tania Mihailuk

Tania Mihailuk

Independent · New South Wales · New South Wales Legislative Council · Statewide (NSW) · incumbent

Tania Mihailuk was born on 5 May 1976 and raised in Punchbowl, a suburb of south-western Sydney. Her family's roots trace to Russian émigrés: her paternal grandparents were born in Russia and Ukraine and settled as refugees in China after the Bolshevik Revolution, while her maternal grandparents fled southern Russia to Xinjiang, China, in the 1930s to escape a Stalin-induced famine. She attended Macquarie University, graduating with a degree in economics and later a degree in law. [source]
