Profile

Jackie Blue is a pioneer.  New Zealand's first breast physician, she has worked tirelessly to develop this new and important field of medicine.  Recognised by her peers for her contribution to women's health, she was elected President of the Australasian Society of Breast Physicians in 2001.

It was a chance meeting, though, with Bill English in 2001 that prompted Jackie to move from health to national politics.  With the encouragement of Bill English and the support of family and friends she became active in the National Party.  Her active contribution and caring character were quickly noted and she was soon asked to stand as the candidate for Mt Roskill in the 2005 election.

Jackie's background in medicine is a welcome addition to parliament as it deals with the increasing issues related to healthcare.  Jackie wants to make sure that healthcare is there for everyone when they need it.

Jackie is a doctor but is also a wife and a mother of two daughters.  At the forefront of many issues over the years, Jackie continues to work with people to make a change for the better.
