Max Richard Menzel (born 30 March 1941) is a former Australian politician.
He was born in Tully in Queensland to Richard Franz Menzel and Dulcie Margaret, née Kelly. He was a canegrower before entering politics. On 28 August 1981 he married Margaret Dell'Alba, with whom he had a son. In 1980 he was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as the National Party member for Mulgrave. He was Temporary Chairman of Committees from 1983 to 1986. Menzel was defeated in 1989.[1]
Following his defeat, Menzel left the National Party. He ran for Mulgrave as an independent in 1992, and his wife Margaret ran for the federal seat of Dawson in 2004 as part of a loose group of independents endorsed by Bob Katter.[2] In August 2012 he was elected president of Katter's Australian Party following the dismissal of Rowell Walton.[3] Menzel resigned from both the position and the party in April 2013.[4]
