Garry Kenneth Kelly (26 May 1948 – 11 July 2002) was an Australian politician who served as a Labor Party member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 1982 to 1993.
Kelly first ran for parliament at the age of 22, contesting the Legislative Council's Metropolitan Province (a Liberal Party safe seat) at the 1971 state election.
His injury left him in a coma for several weeks and required brain surgery followed by a lengthy period of recovery.
[3] In 1982, Kelly won a Legislative Council by-election for South Metropolitan Province, occasioned by the resignation of Howard Olney.
[1] However, prior to the 1993 election, "factional manoeuvres" relegated Kelly to the unwinnable third position on the Labor ticket, and he lost his seat.
