Thomas Llewellyn Jones

Thomas Llewellyn Jones ( 8 March 1872 – 18 June 1946) was a company director and member of both the Queensland Legislative Council and Queensland Legislative Assembly in Australia

Early life Jones was born at Welshpool in Montgomeryshire, Wales, to John Jones his wife Elizabeth (née Llewellyn). He moved to Queensland at a young age and attended Brisbane Normal and Brisbane Grammar schools. He held the seat for one term before losing to Cecil Elphinstone in 1918.

When the Labour Party starting forming governments in Queensland, it found much of its legislation being blocked by a hostile council, where members had been appointed for life by successive conservative governments. After a failed referendum in May 1917, The premier, Ryan, tried a new tactic, and later that year advised the governor, Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams, to appoint 13 new members whose allegiance lay with Labour to the council.

In August 1919, Jones was one of three additional new members, and sat for two and a half years until the council was abolished in March 1922. and a year later he married Gwendolen Gee (died 1982).
