Members of the Tasmanian Legislative Council, 2002–2006

This is a list of members of the Tasmanian Legislative Council from 2002 to 2006. Terms of the Legislative Council do not coincide with Legislative Assembly elections, with members serving eight year terms, and two or three members facing re-election every year. The members have been categorised here according to the four-year terms of the Legislative Assembly so as to avoid the need for separate member lists for each year.
