Allan Dick (politician)

Allan David Dick QSO (1 September 1915 – 15 March 1992) was a New Zealand politician of the National Party.

After school, he farmed at North Otago, Kurow and then Lilybank Station at the head of Lake Tekapo in the McKenzie Country.

[2] He was one of four National Party incumbents from Otago and Southland who lost their normally blue electorate to the Labour challenger over the proposed raising of the lake levels of lakes Manapouri and Te Anau, which was opposed by the Save Manapouri campaign.

Labour's election manifesto was for the lakes to remain at their natural levels.

[6] His wife, Betty Dick, wrote a book High Country Family (Reed, Wellington, 1964) about their life on Lilybank Station, and the changes when he became an MP.
