From 2008 until January 2013, she was a member of cabinet, holding the portfolios of Labour (from which she resigned over the Pike River Mine disaster), Conservation, Food Safety, and Associate Immigration, before being removed from cabinet by Prime Minister John Key. Early life and career before politicsWilkinson was raised on a Mid Canterbury mixed cropping farm at Chertsey and went to St Margaret's College secondary school in Christchurch. And going on to gained a law degree from the University of Canterbury.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}[1] She worked as a lawyer for 25 years with a Christchurch firm Harman & co before gaining election to Parliament in 2005[2].{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} Political career{{NZ parlbox header|align=left}}{{NZ parlbox|start = {{NZ election link year|2005}} |end = 2008 |term = 48th |electorate = List |list = 38 |party = New Zealand National Party }}{{NZ parlbox |term = 49th |start = {{NZ election link year|2008}} |end = 2011 |electorate = List |party = New Zealand National Party |list = 30 }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|2011}} |end = 2014 |term = 50th |electorate = Waimakariri |list = 17 |party = New Zealand National Party }}{{NZ parlbox footer}} In the 2005 election, Wilkinson was a candidate for the National Party, standing in the Waimakariri electorate and ranked 38th on the party list. She entered Parliament as a list MP.[3] She has made a successful start to her career in politics, rising to 28th on the list, and eventually becoming a Cabinet minister. Although unsuccessful in terms of electorate vote again (losing to incumbent Clayton Cosgrove of the Labour Party by 390 votes in the 2008 election – the second narrowest margin in the country), National won a commanding margin in the party vote. In the 2011 election Wilkinson overturned incumbent Clayton Cosgrove's 390 vote majority to win by 642 votes, as well as winning the party vote in the electorate by more than 12,000 votes.[4] In the 49th and 50th New Zealand Parliaments, Wilkinson served as Associate Minister of Conservation (2009–2010), Minister of Conservation (2010–2013),[5] Minister for Food Safety (until 2013), Associate Minister of Immigration (until 2013), and Minister of Labour (2011–2012).[6] Folic acid criticismWilkinson was criticised for her position on the mandatory addition of folic acid to bread sold to the public. Paediatric Society Doctor Andrew Marshall said "making folic acid mandatory would prevent 10 to 20 birth defects, such as spina bifida, a year", as well as strokes and other disease.[7] Resignation as Minister of LabourWilkinson resigned her portfolio as Minister of Labour on 5 November 2012, following the publication of the Royal Commission of Inquiry's report into the 2010 Pike River Mine disaster. It stated that there were major flaws in the Department of Labour, and recommended "sweeping changes" into the department.[8] In a statement, Prime Minister John Key said, "Ms Wilkinson's decision to resign is a personal decision in response to the magnitude of the tragedy. It is the honourable thing to do. I considered it proper for me to accept her resignation from the Labour portfolio." She retained her other portfolios and was succeeded in the Labour portfolio by Chris Finlayson. Wilkinson however was not asked to step down from her other portfolios in Conservation, Food Safety, and Associate Immigration.[9] She was removed from cabinet in the reshuffle of January 2013.[6] On 31 January 2013 Wilkinson was granted the right to retain the title of The Honourable for life in recognition of her term as a Member of the Executive Council of New Zealand.[10] Retirement from politicsWilkinson announced in November 2013 that she would retire at the end of the term of the 50th Parliament.[11] At the time, it was rumoured that political newcomer Matthew Doocey, who contested the 2013 Christchurch East by-election, was going to replace her as the candidate in the Waimakariri electorate;[11] this proved to be correct.[12] Doocey was selected to replace Wilkinson and retained the seat with a lightly increased majority at the 2014 elections. Post-political careerFollowing her departure from politics, Wilkinson returned to Swannanoa in Canterbury to look after her family farming interests.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} She was appointed Commissioner of the Environment Court in May 2015.[13] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810191931/http://katewilkinson.co.nz/index.php?/pages/about.html|title=About Kate – Hon Kate Wilkinson MP|date=2013-08-10|access-date=2018-10-10}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810191931/http://katewilkinson.co.nz/index.php?/pages/about.html|title=About Kate – Hon Kate Wilkinson MP|date=2013-08-10|access-date=2018-10-10}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/MPP/MPs/MPs/7/0/5/50MP127511-Wilkinson-Kate.htm |title=New Zealand Parliament – Wilkinson, Kate |publisher=Parliament.nz |date= |accessdate=29 December 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web |author=New Zealand Electoral Commission |url= http://electionresults.org.nz/electionresults_2011/electorate-55.html |title=Official Count Results – Waimakariri |publisher=Electionresults.org.nz |date= |accessdate=29 December 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10622389 |title=John Key announces Cabinet reshuffle |date=26 January 2010 |publisher=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=26 January 2010}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |title=Nick Smith returns to Cabinet |url= http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/8207660/Nick-Smith-returns-to-Cabinet |accessdate=22 January 2013 |newspaper=The Press |date=22 January 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Folic acid decision 'missed opportunity'|url= http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/folic-acid-decision-missed-opportunity-5056538 |accessdate=3 September 2012|newspaper=One News (New Zealand) |date=1 September 2012|location=Auckland}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Charge Pike River bosses, families say|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pike-river-mine-disaster/7905701/Charge-Pike-River-bosses-families-say |accessdate=5 November 2012|newspaper=Stuff.co.nz|date=5 November 2012|location=Auckland}} 9. ^{{cite news| url= http://www.3news.co.nz/Labour-Minister-Kate-Wilkinson-resigns-in-Pike-River-report-fallout/tabid/423/articleID/275498/Default.aspx |work=3 News NZ |title= Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson resigns in Pike River report fallout| date=5 November 2012}} 10. ^"Retention of the Title 'The Honourable'" (31 January 2013) 11 The New Zealand Gazette 359 at 379. 11. ^1 2 {{cite news |first=Glenn |last=Conway |newspaper=The Press |date=8 November 2013 |page=A7 |title=Wilkinson to fall on her sword}} 12. ^{{cite news |last1=Cooper |first1=Emily |title=Cosgrove fights to win back Waimakariri |url= http://www.3news.co.nz/politics/cosgrove-fights-to-win-back-waimakariri-2014090809 |accessdate=20 September 2014 |work=3 News |date=8 September 2014}} 13. ^{{cite news |url= http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11455565 |title=Kate Wilkinson appointed to Environment Court |date=27 May 2015 |publisher=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=28 May 2015}} External links{{commons category|Kate Wilkinson (politician)}}
