During the 2010 Auckland local elections, Hauiti stood for the Albert-Eden Local Board in the Owairaka Subdivision. Representing Citizens & Ratepayers, she was not elected.

Hauiti stood in the Māngere electorate during the 2011 general election representing National, [12] losing to Labour's William Sio.

Following Aaron Gilmore's resignation, Hauiti replaced him as a list MP on 28 May 2013. [13] [14] [3]

In March 2014 she returned her parliamentary charge card to Parliamentary Services, after using it to pay for a Christmas trip to Australia. [15] In April 2014 she breached parliament rules by employing her wife as an assistant in her electorate office. She said she was unaware of the rule and immediately terminated the employment after being made aware. [16]

Hauiti announced her resignation from politics on 22 July 2014, after having already been selected as the candidate for Kelston in the upcoming election. [17] She was replaced by Chris Penk as National's Kelston candidate. [18]

Post-parliament

In December 2014 and again in January 2015 Hauiti re-appeared in media when she was found to have spent approximately $23,000 on MP's expenses despite her known decision to stand down. [19] Her second media appearance came when her sister had an employment-related dispute with Raukawa FM, a station formerly run by Hauiti as Strategic Advisor. [20]

Personal life

Hauiti is Māori, of Ngāti Porou, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kuta and Ngāti Ruanui descent. [21] She is a lesbian and entered a civil union with her partner Nadine Mau in 2007. They have three children. [22] She is a Christian. [23]

Notes

  1. ↑ Normally, list MPs do not have individual predecessors or successors, but Gilmore resigned during a sitting parliament and therefore was succeeded by Hauiti.
