Members of the Tasmanian Legislative Council, 2002–2006

This is a list of members of the Tasmanian Legislative Council from 2002 to 2006. Terms of the Legislative Council do not coincide with Legislative Assembly elections, with members serving eight-year terms, and two or three members facing re-election every year. The members have been categorised here according to the four-year terms of the Legislative Assembly so as to avoid the need for separate member lists for each year.
