Lionel Courtenay
Lionel Thomas Courtenay (1 December 1879 – 11 July 1935) was an Australian politician. Born in Sydney, where he was educated, he became a builder and a company director. He was involved in local politics, sitting on Mascot Council, Mosman Council and Sydney City Council. In 1932, he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council as a member of the United Australia Party. He left the Council in 1934 to contest the Australian Senate as a UAP candidate for New South Wales, in which he was successful. However, he died on 11 July 1935, 11 days after he formally became a Senator,[1] necessitating the appointment of Guy Arkins to replace him.[2][3]
