Despite the loss, Rosewarne became a Member of Parliament in July 2022, following the resignation of Kris Faafoi. [12] [13] His maiden speech, given on 27 July, recounted how he found his way to politics and the Labour Party after receiving state-funded treatment for otherwise-terminal cancer in 2014. [14]

Rosewarne was initially appointed as a Labour member on the transport and infrastructure committee. In 2023, he sat on the foreign affairs, defence and trade committee, the education and workforce committee, and the finance and expenditure committee. [15] He put himself forward for the Labour nomination in the seat of Christchurch East for the 2023 general election to replace the retiring Poto Williams, but was unsuccessful. [16]

Rosewarne ran for a third time in Waimakariri in 2023, but lost to Doocey again. His position of 32 on the Labour Party list was not high enough to see him reelected. [17] [18] Following Labour's election defeat, he expressed regrets at the loss of perks that came with his job as a Member of Parliament including his Air New Zealand Koru Club privileges. [19]

Personal life

He lives in Waimakariri with his wife and their two children. [10] In 2014, Rosewarne was diagnosed with leukaemia and took immunotherapy drugs in order to beat the condition which would have otherwise been terminal. [20]
