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. 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 brought a unique perspective to Federal Parliament having raised, with her husband, their eight children - much in the mould of the late Dame Enid Lyons. Kay also has 16 grandchildren.
In June 2006, Kay Elson announced that she would not be seeking a fifth term and the seat of Forde was lost to the Labor Party due in large part to Kay's strong personal vote.
