Matthew Joseph "Matt" Foley (born 24 January 1951) is a former Australian politician. Before entering politics, he was a barrister and social worker, and sub-dean of the Social Work Faculty at Queensland University 1981–1983. He was chairperson of the Social Security Appeals Tribunal (1983–1986), president of the Queensland Council for Civil Liberties (1985–1987), a member of the Criminal Law Sub-Committee of the Bar Association of Queensland and of the National Consumer Affairs Advisory Council (1988–1989) and National President of the Labor Lawyers Association (1989).[1] In 1989, Foley was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland as the Labor member for Yeronga.[1] From 1992 onward, Foley served as Attorney-General of Queensland and Minister for the Arts, among other roles, in the Wayne Goss Government.[1] In opposition from 1996-1998, Foley was Shadow Attorney-General.[1] When Labor won government under Peter Beattie in 1998, Foley was appointed Minister for the Arts, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice. At the 2001 election, his seat was abolished and he successfully contested Yeerongpilly. Judge Roslyn Atkinson has credited Foley, in his role as Queensland Attorney-General, with making the Bench more inclusive and representative of wider society, and specifically appointing more women to the Bench.[2] After the election, he became Minister for Employment, Training and Youth, keeping his responsibility for the Arts but leaving his legal portfolios. Foley retired from politics in 2004.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title=Former Members|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|year=2015| url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=1148825854|accessdate= 31 January 2015}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld }}{{s-bef | before = Norm Lee}}{{s-ttl |title = Member for Yeronga|years=1989–2001}}{{s-non|reason=Abolished}}{{s-new|seat}}{{s-ttl |title = Member for Yeerongpilly|years=2001–2004}}{{s-aft | after = Simon Finn}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Foley, Matt}}{{Australia-Labor-politician-stub}}2. ^Interview with Judge Roslyn Atkinson, 'The Conversation Hour', ABC Radio National, 10 October 2015. http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2015/10/19/4334218.htm.
