Charles Mackenzie

Charles John Mackenzie (1837 - 6 August 1921) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly from 1886 to 1909, representing the electorate of Wellington.

Mackenzie was born in Tiruchirappalli, India, the son of an officer in the colonial Indian Army.

Mackenzie was elected to the House of Assembly at the 1886 state election and was re-elected six times. Amongst his touted achievements as an MP was winning support for the Burnie breakwater and the Ulverstone-Burnie railway extension. He retired from the House at the 1909 election and contested the Legislative Council seat of Russell, but was unsuccessful. He remained politically involved, and was appointed the inaugural honorary secretary of the Wynyard branch of the Anti-Socialist League following his defeat.

Mackenzie died at his home in Somerset in August 1921 and was buried at Somerset Cemetery.
