Margaret Ann Hartley QSO (1942 – 20 December 2024) was a New Zealand politician. She was a Labour member of parliament between 2005 and 2008, and served as the mayor of North Shore City from 1989 to 1992.
Early years
[edit]Hartley was born in 1942 in the town of Warkworth. Before entering politics, she was a real estate agent. From 1980 to 1986 she was a member of the Birkenhead City Council, a member of the Child Abuse Prevention Society from 1983 to 1986 and a member of the Auckland Education Board from 1984 to 1989.[1]
Political career
[edit]Mayoralties
[edit]From 1986, Hartley was the mayor of Birkenhead City,[citation needed] which in 1989 was absorbed into the newly created North Shore City. She then became mayor of North Shore City.[2]
Member of Parliament
[edit]| Years | Term | Electorate | List | Party | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1999–2002 | 46th | Northcote | 35 | Labour | |
| 2002–2005 | 47th | Northcote | 35 | Labour | |
| 2005–2008 | 47th | List | 30 | Labour | |
She unsuccessfully contested the Birkenhead electorate in the 1993 election, coming second to National's Ian Revell.[3] She unsuccessfully contested the Northcote electorate in the 1996 election, again coming second to Revell.[4] As she was ranked 47th on Labour's party list in this first MMP election, she did not enter Parliament as a list MP either.[5]
She was first elected to Parliament in the 1999 election, winning the Northcote electorate. She was re-elected for Northcote in 2002, but in 2005 was defeated by Jonathan Coleman, a long-standing rival.[citation needed] She remained in Parliament as a list candidate.
Hartley served as the Deputy Speaker of the House in the 47th New Zealand Parliament and the Assistant Speaker from the 2005 general election until her retirement from national politics in February 2008.[6] She was replaced by former environment minister Marian Hobbs as Assistant Speaker[7] and by Louisa Wall as Labour list MP.[8]
Later activities
[edit]| Years | Ward | Affiliation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010–13 | North Shore | Shore Voice | |
In the 2007 local body elections Hartley was elected to the North Shore City Council, and left Parliament in 2008 after the summer recess.[citation needed]
At the 2010 local government elections, when the North Shore City Council (along with all the other councils in the Auckland region) was amalgamated into the single Auckland Council, she stood for the North Shore Ward under the Shore Voice ticket and was successful. She started her new role when the council came into existence on 1 November 2010. Hartley was not re-elected at the 2013 Auckland Council election where she placed third running for re-election to one of the two seats in the North Shore Ward.[9]
Hartley was elected to the Kaipātiki Local Board at the 2016 Auckland elections.[10]
Death
[edit]Hartley died in Auckland on 20 December 2024.[2]
Honours and awards
[edit]In 1990, Hartley was awarded the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.[11] She was appointed a Companion of the Queen's Service Order in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to local government and the community.[12]
Notes
[edit]- ^ Normally, list MPs do not have individual predecessors or successors, but Hartley resigned during a sitting parliament and therefore was succeeded by Wall.
