Mackey entered Parliament on 29 July 2003 through the Labour
Mackey was not placed high enough on Labour's list to return to Parliament following the 2014 election to be allocated a seat following a drop in support for Labour. In February 2017, Labour list MP Jacinda Ardern won the 2017 Mount Albert by-election, which allowed the party to bring a new list MP to parliament. Mackey was the second-highest ranked Labour candidate not to enter parliament at the 2014 election. The person higher, Maryan Street, announced she would decline the chance to return to Parliament. Mackey likewise declined the option to re-enter Parliament.[4]
Post politics
Since 2015 Mackey has been employed in several advisory roles in Wellington City Council's city planning team.[5]
Notes
- ^ Normally, list MPs do not have individual predecessors or successors, but Kelly resigned during a sitting parliament and therefore was succeeded by Mackey.
