Morton William "Mort" Schell (born 13 July 1943) is an Australian former politician who was a National Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia between 1986 and 1989, representing the seat of Mount Marshall.
He subsequently returned to Goomalling to farm, initially with his family and later independently, and also became involved with what is now the Western Australian Farmers Federation.
[2] He successfully contested Mount Marshall at the 1986 state election, winning the seat off a sitting Liberal member, Bill McNee, on a nine-point swing.
[3] However, prior to the 1989 election, Mount Marshall was abolished in a redistribution, with Schell instead contesting the neighbouring Liberal-held seat of Moore.
Bill McNee was also contesting Moore, replacing the retiring Bert Crane as the Liberal candidate, and defeated Schell's bid for re-election.
