Biography

Born in Goomalling, Western Australia, Maisey was educated at Wesley College in Perth before becoming a farmer and grazier at Dowerin.

During the Depression, Maisey became active in organising primary producers and helped form the Farmer's Union of Western Australia in 1947.[1] He was President of the Australian Wheatgrowers' Federation in 1954. In 1963, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Country Party member for Moore. He held the seat until 1974, when he was defeated by a candidate from the Liberal Party. Maisey died in 2005.[2]
