Arthur Anae (born 1945) is a New Zealand politician who served on the Auckland Council.
[1] Anae first stood for Parliament in the 1993 election, when he contested the Auckland Central electorate; he came third on that occasion.
In the 2002 election, Anae was ranked lowly on the party list (in 28th place), could not win the Manukau East electorate (he came a distant second to Labour's Ross Robertson), and was thus not returned to Parliament.
[4] At the time, he was highly critical of the National Party for his low list ranking and perceived it as an insult to the Pacific community.
He ran for the mayoralty of Manukau City in the 2007 local body elections, polling third.
