Rewiti Pomare Kingi "Pita" Paraone MNZM (30 November 1945 – 26 August 2019) was a New Zealand politician and chairman of the Waitangi National Trust Board. He was a member of the New Zealand First party.

Early life and family

Paraone was born on 30 November 1945 in Kawakawa in the Northland Region.[1] He received his education at Motatau District High School and Bay of Islands College. He had a Diploma in Business Development from the University of Auckland, and a Diploma in Social Work from Victoria University of Wellington.[1] He also attended the Henley Management College in Henley-on-Thames, England.[1]

Before entering politics, Paraone had a long career in public service spanning several decades.[1] He was a regional director for Te Puni Kōkiri, the Ministry of Maori Development.[1] In the 1997 New Year Honours, he was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to Māori and the community.[2] He lived in Pakuranga during his first period in parliament.[3]

Paraone was married with three children.[1]

Political career

New Zealand Parliament
Years Term Electorate List Party
2002–2005 47th List 7 NZ First
2005–2008 48th List 7 NZ First
2014–2017 51st List 8 NZ First

Before entering parliament, Paraone was a board member of New Zealand First (1999–2000) and a member of the Board of Directors (2000–2002).[1]

He stood in the 1999 election in the Pakuranga electorate but was unsuccessful.[4] He was ranked 19th on the New Zealand First party list, which was too low to be elected from the list.[5] He was first elected to Parliament as a list MP in the 2002 election. In the 2008 general election Paraone was sixth on the New Zealand First list, but the party lost all its parliamentary seats, winning no electorates and polling below the 5% threshold.[3]

In December 2009 he was elected a Chairman of the Waitangi National Trust Board, replacing Jeremy Williams. Paraone has been on the board of the Waitangi National Trust since 1997.[6]

In 2014, Paraone was re-elected as a New Zealand First list MP and was his party spokesperson on Māori Affairs, Treaty of Waitangi Issues, Pacific Island Affairs, and the Office of Treaty Settlements.[7][8] At the 2017 election however, Paraone was ranked 11th on the New Zealand First list and was not returned to Parliament.[9][10] Paraone publicly encouraged his party to support the formation of Sixth Labour Government of New Zealand.[7][10] He was appointed chair of the Local Government Commission in November 2018 and held this appointment until his death.

Death

Paraone died in Auckland on 26 August 2019.[11] He had undergone cardiac surgery just three weeks prior, but had failed to recover.[12] The incumbent Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Winston Peters, offered his condolences, stating that he was "deeply saddened" by the death.[13]

Women's suffrage in Arizona

Madge Udall in a 1913 woman suffrage parade The movement for women's suffrage in Arizona began in the late 1800s.

Johns formed the Arizona Suffrage Association and began touring the state campaigning for women's right to vote. Momentum built throughout the decade, and after a strenuous campaign in 1903, a woman's suffrage bill pass...
