Biography
[ edit ]
Thomas was born in 1941[2] Southwell School and Hamilton Boys' High School .
In the 1990 election Thomas stood for the National Party , taking the Hamilton West electorate from Trevor Mallard . However he lost it to Labour 's Martin Gallagher in the 1993 election .[1]
Thomas was a Hamilton city councillor from 1995 to 2007, when he stood down.[3] [4] [4] David Braithwaite being a dictator prompted fellow councillor Bill Ward to question Thomas' support for the mayor. This led to Jody Garrett nominating Ward in a bid to replace Thomas as deputy mayor. The move ultimately failed, with ten councillors backing Thomas and only four supporting Ward.[5]
In 2005 Thomas claimed that the 13 members of the city council were excessive, saying "[their] salary is too high for the workload".[6] NZ$ 150,000 annually.[6]
Thomas now lives in Perth, Australia, with his family.
