Political career

Lamond unsuccessfully contested the Australian House of Representatives seat of Lang for Labor at the 1913 and 1914 elections. During World War I, he came to be opposed to labor radicalism, and in particular to the Industrial Workers of the World, and became a strong supporter of Billy Hughes. As a supporter of conscription, he was obliged to resign from "the Australian Worker". He won the seat of Illawarra as a Nationalist at the 1917 election and was appointed assistant minister for repatriation in December 1921. The seat of Illawarra was abolished before the 1922 election and he stood unsuccessfully for Barton. In 1923 Lamond bought "the Southern Mail" and three other rural newspapers, which he edited and published in Bowral. He died at Bowral, survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter.
