He represented the Hunua electorate from 25 November 1978 after the 1978 general election, until 24 May 1979, when he was unseated by a decision of the Electoral Court in favour of Winston Peters.[2] The court declared Peters elected on election night.[3] The petition involved the methods of voting allowable, ‘ticks and crosses’.
He is a son of Norman Douglas and a brother of Roger Douglas, both (ex) Labour Party politicians.
Malcolm Douglas managed his brother's 2008 election campaign in the Hunua electorate when he stood for ACT New Zealand;[1] he came third in the electorate, but was elected as number three on the party list.[4]
