Wendy Elizabeth Lindsay is an Australian politician. She was a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 2019 to 2023, representing East Hills for the Liberal Party.[3]

Political career

Prior to being elected to parliament, Lindsay was the manager of the multilingual Bankstown Auburn Community radio station.[4]

In August 2018, the then-incumbent member for East Hills, Glenn Brookes, who had resigned from the Liberal Party in 2016 after his campaign manager was charged with electoral offences, announced that he would retire from parliament.[5] Lindsay was preselected by the Liberal Party to contest the seat.[6] She was elected, narrowly defeating Labor candidate Cameron Murphy.[7]

Lindsay was defeated by Kylie Wilkinson at the 2023 state election, having served one term.[8]
