Involvement with SUP
In August 23, 1986, Tuohy was elected as a member of the new youth group of the Soviet aligned Socialist Unity Party called "Youth in Unity", along with Wayne Ruscoe and Sandy Rickard. In August 1987, Tuohy was elected as the National Coordinator of a new "Youth League" of the SUP. His task was for the collation and dissemination of material until the next meeting.
On August 7, 1989, an article by Tuohy appeared in the SUP newspaper, the Tribune, concerning the space race and the opportunities it presented for shared technology.[3]
In 1990, the Tribune carried an article of Tuohy's, headed "The Wellington Women's Health Collective: struggling on towards informed Choice".[4]
By March 12, 1990, Tuohy was on the Executive of the Wellington branch of the SUP.
On October 22, 1990, another of Tuohy's articles appeared in the Tribune, this time concerning the dud New Zealand referendum on extending the parliamentary term.[5]
On April 22, 1990, Tuohy had an article on the forum page of the Tribuneheaded "Socialism is already feasible" it read as follows: ""Our tasks now are to spread socialist ideas, and to develop socialised relations of production which better correspond to the new productive forces. State capitalist forms are a step in this direction, but socialist forms are a much better step in this drection, and this must be the basis of our propaganda."[6]
Assisting in production of Socialist Politics
In 1989, Tuohy was involved in the production of the Socialist Politics' George Jackson documents. In 1989, he laid out the 3rd quarterly 1989 issue of Socialist Politics.
