John Carter Biography

John Carter is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on May 8, 1950 in Te Kopuru, Te Kopuru, New Zealand. John McGregor Carter QSO (born 8 May 1950) is a New Zealand politician, and member of the National Party. He represented the Bay of Islands, Far North and Northland electorates in Parliament from 1987 until July 2011, when he became New Zealand’s High Commissioner to the Cook Islands. Since the October 2013 local elections, he has been mayor of the Far North District.

Carter was sacked as whip in 1995, after he phoned into a talkback radio show, hosted by fellow National MP John Banks, impersonating a work-shy Māori called Hone, causing widespread offence.

Carter returned to the Far North District of New Zealand, successfully running for Mayor of the District in October 2013. He was re-elected for a third term in 2019. He lives at Waipapakauri Ramp on Ninety Mile Beach.

Carter is a supporter of the monarchy in New Zealand. In 1992, a year described by Queen Elizabeth II as her annus horribilis, Carter called on New Zealanders to write in to express their support for her, having written to The Times of London criticising the British media’s apparent lack of respect towards the Queen. Inundated with letters of support, he remarked that “we wanted her to know we cared”. In March 1994 he publicly disavowed Prime Minister Jim Bolger’s call for a New Zealand republic.
