Obituaries — Janet Elsdon Mackey

Members, I regret to inform the House of the death, on 22 July 2024, of Janet Elsdon Mackey. She was a member of this House from 1993 to 2005, representing the electorates of Gisborne, Māhia, and East Coast. During her time in the House, she served on the Education and Science Committee, the Justice and Electoral Committee, and the Finance and Expenditure Committee. She was also the deputy chairperson of the Primary Production Committee and was the chairperson of the Law and Order Committee. I desire on behalf of the House to express the sense of loss we feel and the sympathy for the relatives of the late former member, and I ask members to now stand and join with me in observing a period of silence.

Members stood as a mark of respect.
