Lloyd, Trevor 1863-1937 :Always moving on - the serious plight of a southern member of the N.Z. government. Auckland Weekly News, October 1911.

A weeping Thomas Mackenzie, New Zealand politician, is pushed away from a stool by a policeman wearing a label 'Boundaries Commission'. Other stools are empty, labelled 'High Commissionership - or ?', 'Tairei lost 1911', 'Waikouaiti lost 1908', 'Waihemo lost 1902'. In the background Prime Minister Joe Ward and another politician are playing games with a 'seat'.

Extended Title - The Hon. T. Mackenzie, Minister for Commerce and Agriculture in the Ward Government, has suffered the loss of his seat after three consecutive sittings of the Electoral Boundaries Commission. After being driven to Waikouaiti by the abolition of the Waihemo seat, he had to stand for Taieri at the last election, though his constituency being again done away with. This year's census figures necessitated the transference of one seat from the South to the North Island, and again Mr. Mackenzie was the victim. He announces his intention of contesting another seat, not yet named, but the opinion is generally held that he will be sent to London to fill the High Commissionership shortly to be vacated by Sir William Hall-Jones.
