Born April 21, 1942. Nelson. New Zealand politician. Prime Minister (1989-90). Leader of the New Zealand Labour Party. Real name Sir Geoffrey Winston Russell Palmer. He obtained a bachelor's degree in law from Victoria University of Wellington and also studied at the University of Chicago in the United States. He worked as a solicitor in a Wellington law firm from 1964 to 1966, then taught as a lecturer in political science at Victoria University of Wellington (1968-69), professor of law at the University of Iowa and the University of Virginia in the United States (1969-73), and professor of English and New Zealand law again at Victoria University of Wellington (1974-79). He joined the New Zealand Labour Party in 1975 and was elected a member of Parliament in the 1979 by-election. He became private secretary to Prime Minister Wallace Edward Rowling, and soon served as Deputy Leader (1983-89), Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Justice, and Attorney General (1984-89). In August 1989, when Prime Minister David Longi, who was losing loyalty and public support within the party, resigned and named Palmer as his successor, he became Prime Minister with the consent of the party leadership. However, about a year later, in September 1990, he resigned for the same reasons as Longi. He subsequently taught law at the University of Victoria and the University of Iowa, and co-founded a law firm in 1994. In 2005, he became chairman of the Law Commission, a government-funded advisory body on the legal profession, and made recommendations to Parliament on legal reforms. He was awarded a knighthood in 1991. Palmer |
