Ray Bailey
Australian politician (1935ā2012) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Australian politician. For the English cricketer and football (soccer) player, see Raymond Bailey (sportsman).
Raymond Frederick Bailey (25 November 1935 ā 15 February 2012) was a member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council. He was first elected to the now abolished Division of Cornwall on 26 May 1990. He was re-elected in the 1996 Cornwall election.
Bailey became President of the Legislative Council on 17 June 1997, a position which he held until 4 May 2002.
In 1999 a redistribution tribunal abolished his electorate of Cornwall, because of the reduction in the size of parliament. Instead he automatically became member for Rosevears; this new electorate included much of Cornwall anyway. He retired in 2002, and died in 2012.[1]
