Christine Fletcher

Christine Elizabeth Fletcher QSO (née Lees, born 25 January 1955) is a New Zealand politician.

At the 1990 general election, Fletcher was the National Party candidate for the Eden electorate, and defeated the Labour incumbent, Richard Northey.

However, she resigned as a minister on 11 September 1997,[6] because she objected to the sale of the assets of the Auckland Regional Services Trust proposed by National.

[7] She was a contributor in 2004 to a book by the Better Democracy group, promoting citizen participation in the New Zealand democratic process.

She considered that working for a CBD rail tunnel was one of her main priorities, extending the capacity of Britomart, whose construction she had successfully fought for in her mayoral term.
