Lucy Wicks (politician)


Lucy Elizabeth Wicks is an Australian politician. She has been a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives, representing the Division of Robertson in New South Wales, since her election in September 2013.
Wicks was born in Canberra and raised in Narara and Point Clare. Her first full-time job was as a teacher at her old school in Narara. She left the Central Coast to further a career in the telecommunications industry with Telstra, worked in corporate affairs and communications, and later as a Liberal Party staffer.
She returned to the Central Coast in 2013 to contest the federal election. Although she had been raised on the Central Coast, she was heavily criticised for allegedly being "parachuted" into Parliament.
Wicks narrowly won re-election in the 2016 federal election from Labor candidate Anne Charlton.
Wicks opposes same-sex marriage.
