Colin Craig Biography

Colin Craig is one of the most popular and richest Businessman who was born on January 8, 1968 in Auckland, Auckland Region, New Zealand. Colin Craig (born 8 January 1968) is an New Zealand businessman who was the first chairman of the Conservative Party of New Zealand.

On September 20 Craig’s spouse Helen Craig testified that MacGregor was privately calling her to admit to experiencing an emotional connection with Craig. MacGregor also admitted to kissing Craig in the evening of the general election in 2011. Helen also stated that she was able to forgive her husband. Helen further stated that she together with Craig have formulated an arrangement of ” working rules” to guide his relationship with Craig. In spite of the fact that Craig admitted to having a kiss with McGregor but denied dressing or engaging in sexual relations with Helen.

Jacky Stiekema (described in blog posts by Stringer as “Grandma Quilts” to protect her privacy) had previously worked as a senior trust account manager at Craig’s Centurion company. In 2012, Stiekema had successfully taken Craig to the Employment Court for which she was awarded several thousand dollars. It was felt in some quarters that perhaps the more recent litigation was in retaliation for this as it appeared difficult to ascertain Craig’s motivation for suing Stiekema and that he had failed “to disclose a serious tort”. At the time of Stiekema’s 2012 Employment Court hearing, it was reported that Craig had made remarks claiming that “shortness” was the result of sin; an allusion to the Biblical character Zaccheus the tax collector. Stiekema also objected at being forced to attend “prayer meetings” run by Craig at the business despite Stiekema’s strong personal Christian faith.

In September 2012, Craig had 20,000 leaflets delivered to residents in the Helensville electorate, claiming locals had told him Helensville MP and Prime Minister John Key was “too gay” to be their representative in Parliament.

The family was raised in Auckland and was raised within the suburban area of Howick, Craig attended Macleans College and graduated from the University of Auckland with Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Arts degrees. He also completed postgraduate studies through Massey University. Craig has a daughter and a wife Helen. The father of his son, Ross Craig, served as an Rodney District councillor until 2010.
