Thomas Bloodworth (10 February 1882 – 11 May 1974) was a New Zealand politician. He was a Member of the Legislative Council and its last Chairman of Committees.
Born in Maxey, Northamptonshire in 1882, Bloodworth was a member of the British Independent Labour Party and came to New Zealand in 1907. He joined the Auckland Socialist Party in 1910 and was Secretary of the Auckland Carpenters' Union (1914–1936). Bloodworth helped found the Auckland WEA (Workers' Educational Association) and was Auckland Vice-President of the Land Values League.
He stood as the NZLP candidate for Parnell in 1919 and again at the 1930 by-election. Bloodworth was an Auckland City Councillor for a total of 33 years:1919–1927 and 1928–1931 (Labour); 1931–1938 (Independent); and 1953–1968 (Citizens and Ratepayers). He was also a member of the Auckland Electric Power Board and Chairman of the Auckland Harbour Board. Bloodworth broke with the New Zealand communist Party in the 1930s. He was a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council for three terms over 16 years from 22 June 1934 to its abolition in 1950. He was the Council's last Chairman of Committees between 5 July and 31 December 1950.
In 1935, Bloodworth was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal,[1] and in 1953 he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal.[2] He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for services to local government, in the 1966 Queen's Birthday Honours.
