Biography

Sir Seymour Douglas (Doug) Tooth (1904—1982) was a politician in Queensland, Australia. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.

Politics

Tooth was unsuccessful in contesting the 1956 election in the electoral district of Kelvin Grove as the candidate for the Liberal Party. He was defeated by the sitting Australian Labor Party member, John Albert Turner who had held the seat since 1941.

Tooth was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly in Kelvin Grove at the 1957 election, defeating Turner. Tooth held Kelvin Grove until 1960, at which that electorate was abolished being largely replaced by the new electoral district of Ashgrove. He successfully contested Ashgrove which he held until the 1974 election which he did not contest. The Liberal party retained Ashgrove in 1974 with the election of their candidate John Greenwood.

He was the Minister for Health from 14 April 1964 to 23 December 1974.
