Michael John Johnsen (born 15 March 1964)[1] is an Australian former politician who served in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the member for Upper Hunter for the Nationals from 2015 to 2021.[2]
Johnsen served as Mayor for the Upper Hunter Shire Council from 2009 to 2012 and previously contested the seat of Hunter for the Nationals at the 1996 , 2010 and 2013 federal elections .[3]
Johnsen was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in March 2015 "after a traditional Nationals family values election campaign in which his wife featured prominently."[4]
Johnsen announced he was standing aside temporarily on 24 March 2021 due to an ongoing police investigation into a rape allegation against him. He stood aside from his role as parliamentary secretary, and moved to the crossbench and did not sit in the Nationals nor the joint party room.[5] Following further allegations of inappropriate conduct in Parliament House, Johnsen resigned from parliament on 31 March 2021.[6]
Personal life
[ edit ]
Michael Johnsen married Zenda Casey in November 1985 and the couple had two children.[7] The marriage ended in late 2015, nine months after Johnsen's election as the member for Upper Hunter.[4]
