Henry Maley

Henry Kennedy Maley (17 June 1878 – 26 February 1956) was an Australian politician who was a Country Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1917 to 1924 and again from 1929 to 1930.

[2] He attended the High School in Perth on a scholarship, and after leaving began working as a clerk for the Midland Railway Company.

He recontested Greenough for the Country Party at the 1917 election and was successful, defeating the sitting member, John Cunningham.

[3] After the 1921 election, Maley was appointed Minister for Agriculture in the Mitchell government, replacing Hal Colebatch.

Some of Patrick's supporters directed their preferences to the Labor candidate, Maurice Kennedy, which resulted in Maley losing his seat by a margin of just 25 votes on the two-party-preferred count.
