Bob Simcock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert (Bob) Simcock (1947 - ) is a former New Zealand politician. He was an MP from 1996 to 2002, representing the National Party. He was first elected to Parliament in the 1996 elections as MP for Hamilton West, defeating the incumbent, Martin Gallagher of the Labour Party. In the 1999 elections, however, Gallagher regained the seat, and Simcock became a list MP. In the 2002 elections, however, the National Party performed poorly, and did not win enough votes for Simcock to remain in Parliament. Before entering politics, Simcock had worked both as a deer farmer and as a clinical psychologist.
