Kay Elson
Kay Selma Elson (born 25 January 1947), Australian politician, was a Liberal Member of the Australian House of Representatives from March 1996 until her resignation in November 2007. Kay represented the Division of Forde, Queensland.〔(Elson, Kay Selma (1947 - ) ), The Australian Women's Register, 22 April 2009.〕 She was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and was a special events co-ordinator for a handicapped association,〔(Retiring MPs ), ''Australia Votes 2007'', Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2007.〕 a shop proprietor and a financial consultant before entering politics.〔 Elson has eight children.
Elson was preselected as Liberal candidate in Forde for the 1996 election. The seat was originally a safe Labor seat, but a redistribution added some Liberal-friendly territory in the Scenic Rim, which all but erased Labor's majority. Elson defeated Labor incumbent Mary Crawford on a nine-percent swing, turning Forde into a safe Liberal seat in one stroke. Her victory was part of Labor's near-total collapse in Queensland; Labor was cut down to only two seats there.
In June 2006, Kay Elson announced that she would not be seeking a fifth term. By this time, she'd built up her majority to 12 percent. However, the seat was lost to Labor on a 14-point swing, making it one of the safest Coalition seats to be taken by Labor.
