This article is about the Australian politician. For the English cricketer and football (soccer) player, see [Raymond Bailey (sportsman)](/source/Raymond_Bailey_(sportsman)).

**Raymond Frederick Bailey** (25 November 1935 – 15 February 2012) was a member of the [Tasmanian Legislative Council](/source/Tasmanian_Legislative_Council). He was first elected to the now abolished [Division of Cornwall](/source/Cornwall_(Tasmania_electorate)) on 26 May 1990. He was re-elected in the 1996 [Cornwall](/source/Cornwall_(Tasmania_electorate)) election.

Bailey became President of the Legislative Council on 17 June 1997, a position which he held until 4 May 2002.

In 1999 a redistribution tribunal abolished his electorate of Cornwall, because of the reduction in the size of parliament. Instead he automatically became member for [Rosevears](/source/Electoral_division_of_Rosevears); this new electorate included much of Cornwall anyway. He retired in 2002, and died in 2012.[1]
