James Palmer Campbell

Last updated April 10, 2019

James Palmer Campbell (1855 – 27 February 1926) was a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council from 2 September 1921 to 27 February 1926, when he died. He was appointed by the Reform Government.^[1]

The Legislative Council of New Zealand existed from 1841 until 1951. When New Zealand became a colony in 1841 the Legislative Council was established as the country's first legislature; it was reconstituted as the upper house of a bicameral legislature when New Zealand became self-governing in 1852.

The Reform Government of New Zealand was the government of New Zealand from 1912 to 1928. It is perhaps best remembered for its anti-trade union stance in the Waihi miners' strike of 1912 and a dockworkers' strike the following year. It also governed during World War I, during which a temporary coalition was formed with the Liberal Party.

He was from Auckland.
