Tania Verene Rattray-Wagner (born 28 March 1958) is an independent member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council (upper house) in the electoral division of Apsley.
Rattray-Wagner was educated at Winnaleah Area School and Scottsdale High School. She worked in the retail industry before becoming a full-time politician. She was elected to Dorset Council in 1996, becoming deputy mayor in 2002. She stood for election in the Apsley division on 1 May 2004 when her father Colin Rattray retired.[1] She narrowly led on primary votes and was elected after the distribution of preferences.[2] There has been some controversy when she opposed the state government's attempted aboriginal land title hand-back negotiations.
