Michael Hugh Lavarch AO (born 8 June 1961) is an Australian lawyer, educator and former politician.

By the 1993 election, boundary changes had erased Lavarch's majority and made Fisher notionally Liberal.

Lavarch contested the newly created seat of Dickson in the outer northern suburbs of Brisbane, which covered much of the Brisbane portion of his former seat.

Independent Walter Pegler died very shortly before the election, making it necessary to hold a supplementary election on 17 April (the rest of the country had already voted on 13 March).

Following the return of the Labor Party to government, Prime Minister Paul Keating announced the makeup of the Second Keating Ministry to be sworn in on 24 March, but kept the portfolio of Attorney-General (outside Cabinet) open for Lavarch, subject to him winning Dickson on 17 April.

Lavarch won the supplementary election, defeating future Queensland Liberal leader Bruce Flegg, and was duly appointed to the ministry on 27 April.

During his political career, he was particularly interested in human rights and native title issues.

1995

He was responsible for instigating the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families in 1995, culminating in the publication of the Bringing Them Home Report.

1996

He served three terms in the Parliament until 1996, being appointed Attorney-General of Australia in 1993.

He was defeated at the 1996 election, in which Labor was cut down to only two seats in Queensland.

He then returned to his legal practice.

1998

In 1998, Lavarch was elected as a Queensland delegate to the 4th Constitutional Convention in 1998 for the Australian Republican Movement.
