Thomas Douglas Percy Holden (1 January 1859 – 31 December 1938) was an Australian politician who served as a Member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1912 to 1934 and also as an Alderman and Mayor of the Municipality of Redfern.
The owner of a tobacconist and barber shop in Redfern, Holden spent most of his career associated with the Australian Labor Party.
Truth also alleged that McGowen was a patron of Holden's shop and paid a penny less than the minimum required by hairdressers' union members.
Holden, retiring as mayor of Redfern, but continuing as an Alderman was nevertheless reelected in his council seat ahead of the Labor-endorsed candidate.
[9] Despite being a personal friend of McGowen, Holden did not follow him or John Leitch when they were expelled from the Labor party over the conscription question.
