Kay Elson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kay Selma Elson (born 25 January 1947), Australian politician, has been a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives since March 1996, representing the Division of Forde, Queensland. She was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and was a special events co-ordinator for a handicapped association, a shop proprietor and a financial consultant before entering politics. Mrs Elson brings a unique perspective to Federal Parliament having raised, with her husband, their eight children - much in the mould of the late Dame Enid Lyons.

In June 2006, Kay Elson announced that she would not be seeking a 5th term.
