Harold Brockett Gibson

Harold Brockett Gibson (died 31 May 1975) was a New Zealand-born Fijian solicitor and politician. He served as a member of the Legislative Council and House of Representatives in three spells between 1937 and 1972. He also represented Fiji in the lawn bowls competition at the 1950 British Empire Games.

Biography Gibson was born in New Zealand and qualified a lawyer in 1919. He moved to Fiji in 1926 and settled in Labasa, where he worked as a solicitor. He was also involved in business, and served as a director of Eastern Hotels and the Labasa Electricity Company. The elections later in the year saw him elected ahead of Archibald again.

Gibson was re-elected in 1959, but defeated by his old rival Archibald in the 1963 elections. In the 1966 he returned to unseat Archibald in the Northern General electors seat. Although he ran as an independent, he later joined the Alliance Party. He retired at the 1972 elections.

Gibson was also a member of Labasa Township Board, and served for one term as its chairman.
