John Law is a former Mayor of the Rodney District Council, New Zealand, and held that post from 2001 to 2007.
He was elected during a by-election, following a period of instability in the leadership and governance of Rodney District Council.
John Law was cautiously critical of the proposed outcomes of the Super-City and unsupportive of the drive to merge district councils.
[2] John Law has also questioned the decision making of the ARC in other ways, such as when he expressed his opinion that the Regional Council should not have a say in land use (zoning) and should stick to dealing with environmental concerns.
[3] In 2022, his grandson Jake Law stood as a candidate in the 2022 local body elections to be a councillor in the Albany Ward (which makes up part of the former Rodney area) and for the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board.
