Kathryn Hay

Kathryn Hay

Kathryn Isobel Hay (born 24 November 1975, Launceston) was a Tasmanian Labor politician and member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly in the electorate of Bass. She was first elected in the 2002 election.

Hay was the first woman of Aboriginal descent to be elected in Tasmania (in her maiden speech Ms Hay points out that her Aboriginal ancestors are Western Australian, not Tasmanian). She was chosen as Miss Tasmania (1999) and Miss Australia (1999).

Ms Hay announced she will not be contesting the upcoming 2006 election and will leave politics to spend more time with her family. Her term ended when parliament was dissolved on 17 March 2006.
