Gaetano "Guy" Zangari (pronounced[ɡaeˈtaːnodzaŋˈɡaːri]; born 1970 or 1971) is an Australian former politician. He was a Labor Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from March 2011 to March 2023, representing the electorate of Fairfield.[2] Zangari is a dual Australian and Italian citizen.[3]
Zangari was a teacher at various high schools in Western Sydney for over 16 years. He spent over eight years teaching at Patrician Brothers' College, Fairfield, and later worked as a Pastoral Care Coordinator at Freeman Catholic College in Bonnyrigg.[4]
On 18 November 2010, he was preselected unopposed for the seat of Fairfield to replace the former Member, Joe Tripodi, who announced he would be quitting parliament at the 2011 NSW state election. Zangari won with 40.7% of the votes, compared to Liberal Party candidate Charbel Saliba who received 37.9%.[5] At the 2015 NSW state election, Guy secured 53.71% of the formal vote after preferences giving him a 15.2-point swing back to Labor.[6][7] At the 2019 NSW State Election, Guy increased his percentage of the vote to 57.23%.[8] He did not re-contest his seat at the 2023 New South Wales state election.
