Labour official seeks Yaldhurst nomination
Mr Garth Lomax, who was recently re-elected as chairman of the Canterbury Regional Council of the Labour Party, is seeking nomination for the Yaldhurst seat. The sitting member of Parliament, Mr M. A. Con-
nelly, has announced that he will not be seeking renomination for the next election. Mr Lomax, who has lived in the electorate for 14 years, said that he believed he could make a contribution in “getting some justice and equity into the way the country is run.” “The ordinary people are not getting a very fair go at present,” he said. Mr Lomax, aged 36, has been organiser for the Canterbury sub-branch of the Labourers’ Union for three years, after serving in the electrical trade in Hornby. He is married with four children. He has been regional chairman of the party for 18 months. He is also convener of the Canterbury Joint Council of Labour, the group which provides a bridge between the industrial and political wings of the Labour Party.
