Agnes Robertson Robertson (née Keay; 31 July 1882 – 29 January 1968) was an Australian politician who served as a Senator for Western Australia from 1950 to 1962. She was originally elected as a member of the Liberal Party, but was dropped from the party's ticket at the 1955 election due to her age. Robertson secured her re-election by switching to the Country Party, becoming its first female representative in parliament. Her final term ended a month before her 80th birthday.
