William Clarence "Bill" 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.

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

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 decreed that the seat be subject to a special election at the next lower house election in 1966, in which Heatley easily defeated Labor candidate and future Senator Bertie Milliner. Heatley held the seat until his defeat in 1967, taking effect in 1968. In 1970 he entered the Legislative Assembly of Queensland as the member for Albert, but died in 1971.[1]

Later life

Heatley died on 29 October 1971 aged 51 at Surfers Paradise, Queensland.[2]
