Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox officeholder William Clarence Heatley (12 July 1920 – 29 October 1971) was an Australian politician.

Early life

Born in Townsville, Queensland, Heatley was educated at All Souls School in Charters Towers.[1]

After serving in the military 1940–1945, he became a grazier at Warwick and Miles, as well as a company director.[1]

Politics

On 14 April 1966, Heatley was appointed to the Australian Senate as a Liberal Senator for Queensland, filling the casual vacancy caused by the death of Liberal Senator Bob Sherrington. The Australian Constitution dictated that a special Senate election had to be held at the same time as the lower house election in 1966, in which Heatley easily defeated Labor candidate and future Senator Bertie Milliner.[2] Heatley held the seat until his defeat in 1967, taking effect in 1968.[1] In 1970, he entered the Legislative Assembly of Queensland as the member for Albert, but died in 1971.[3]

Later life

Heatley died on 29 October 1971, aged 51, at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast.[4]
