Barry Haase
Australian politician and administrator of the Australian Indian Ocean Territories
Barry Wayne Haase (born 19 November 1945) is a former Australian politician who served as a Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives from October 1998 to August 2013. He initially represented the Western Australian Division of Kalgoorlie, the largest single-member parliamentary constituency by area in the world. In 2010, Kalgoorlie was abolished, and Haase transferred to the newly created Division of Durack, essentially the northern half of his old electorate.
Haase was born in Southern Cross, Western Australia, and was a company director before entering politics.
He announced his retirement on 15 June 2013.
In 2014 he was appointed to be the Administrator of the Australian Indian Ocean Territories for Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. He served in this capacity from 5 October 2014 to 4 October 2017.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Barry Haase” as australian politician and administrator of the Australian Indian Ocean Territories. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as australian politician and administrator of the Australian Indian Ocean Territories. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4864285. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1945, 1998, 2013 and 2010.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
