Harvey, John (John Rowland), author, Edwards, Brent, author

Overview

\"Annette King is New Zealand's longest-serving women MP -1984-2017, less three years in the wilderness from 1990-1993. In her 30 years in Parliament, she spent 15 in government (10 as a cabinet minister) and 15 in opposition. She is a former deputy leader of the Labour Party, and held a number of senior cabinet portfolios. This book takes a dual approach to her life and political career. Annette's career embraces a tumultuous time in New Zealand politics and Labour politics: Rogernomics and Lange's independent foreign policy; the 1990s and advent of MMP; the refinement of Rogernomics under Ruth Richardson etc; the rise and nearly fall of Helen Clark; the Clark government (where Annette served as Health, Food Safety, Police, Transport, Justice and Racing Minister); the subsequent 9 years of difficult and troubled opposition for Labour; and eventually the rise of Jacinda Ardern. Annette played pivotal roles in all these eras\"--Publisher information.
