kerry joseph bartlett -lrb- born 15 april 1949 -rrb- is an australian politician .
he was a liberal member of the australian house of representatives between march 1996 and november 2007 , representing the division of macquarie , new south wales .
he was born in sydney , new south wales , and was educated at sydney university and macquarie university , and has a master 's degree in economics from the latter .
before entering politics , he was a school economics and history teacher at wycliffe christian school , a university economics tutor and a financial planner .
bartlett did not attain a ministry but was chief government whip from 2004 until 2007 .
his seat was radically altered ahead of the 2007 election .
he 'd previously held the seat with a fairly safe majority of eight percent , but lost much of his territory near sydney .
this wiped out bartlett 's majority and turned macquarie into a marginal labor seat .
he was defeated by former labor state minister bob debus on a swing of six percent .
