Early life and careerEdit

Tizard was born at Auckland's St Helen's maternity hospital in Pitt Street in 1956.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She was educated at Glendowie College.Template:Sfn Born into a political family, her mother, Dame Catherine Tizard, served as Mayor of Auckland and as Governor-General and her father, Bob Tizard, was a prominent Labour Party cabinet minister and Deputy Prime Minister. She followed her parents into politics, joining the Labour Party herself in 1973.Template:Sfn

After moving from Auckland to Wellington, when her father became a cabinet minister, Tizard began studying politics at Victoria University and got a job in the Labour Party Research Unit from 1976 to 1977. She became more enthusiastic about her work, spending more time in that than study before returning to Auckland and working as a cook in a restaurant owned by one of her friends.Template:Sfn She was elected a member of the Auckland Electric Power Board in 1977, remaining a member until 1983.<ref name="don't forget">Template:Cite news</ref> Her mother commented that it was "...another telling demonstration of the power of a recognisable name on a ticket. As she (Judith) said herself, who in their right mind would elect a 21-year-old barmaid to run a power board? That's how she had described herself on the ticket."Template:Sfn

Later, Tizard finished her Bachelor of Arts (BA) in History from the University of Auckland.Template:Sfn She became a waitress, restaurant owner, and manager of O'Connells Restaurant on O'Connell St in Auckland (1978–1982), and was involved in the catering industry (1981–1984).Template:Sfn In 1986 she stood unsuccessfully for a seat on the Auckland City Council in 1986 in the central ward, but narrowly missed out on election.Template:Sfn She was elected a member of the Auckland Regional Council in 1988. She was re-elected in 1989 before resigning in 1991.<ref name="don't forget"/>

Member of ParliamentEdit

Template:NZ parlbox header Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox Template:NZ parlbox footer Tizard stood unsuccessfully for the safe National seat of Template:NZ electorate link in the Template:NZ election link. She was an electorate secretary in the Template:NZ electorate link electorate for Helen Clark from 1984 to 1987.Template:Sfn In 1986 Tizard sought the Labour nomination for the seat of Template:NZ electorate link, but lost out to Ross Robertson.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> At the Template:NZ election link she contested Remuera again. Election night projections suggested she had taken the seat off National; ultimately she reduced the majority of Doug Graham to just 406 votes. She was the only Labour candidate to come remotely close to winning Remuera. From 1987 to 1990 she was an electorate secretary in the Template:NZ electorate link electorate for her father. From 1987 to 1989 she was vice-president of the Auckland Regional Council of the Labour Party.Template:Sfn

On his retirement she succeeded her father as Labour's candidate for Panmure. She entered Parliament at the 1990 election and in November 1990 she was appointed Labour's spokesperson for Immigration and Arts & Culture by Labour leader Mike Moore.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> After being re-elected in 1993, she shifted her candidacy to Template:NZ electorate link, which she won in the 1996 election, defeating Sandra Lee. In 1993, Tizard was awarded the New Zealand Suffrage Centennial Medal.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1999, Tizard served as the Minister assisting the Prime Minister on Auckland issues, which would develop into the portfolio of Minister for Auckland Issues in 2002.<ref name="Parliament NZ"> Template:Citation </ref>

She became a Minister outside of Cabinet, serving as Minister of Consumer Affairs, Associate Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, Associate Minister of Transport, Associate Minister of Commerce, and Minister responsible for Archives New Zealand and the National Library.

Before the 2008 general election Tizard was placed 38th on Labour's list, a relatively low one for a minister. She was then defeated in her electorate by National's Nikki Kaye by a margin of 1,497 votes.<ref>Auckland Central results 2008 Template:Webarchive</ref> Due to the scale of Labour's defeat that year, her list placing was too low to allow her to remain Parliament as a list MP; her only chance of returning would be if Labour list MPs quit.<ref name="NZ_Herald_10542100">Template:Cite news</ref>

On 25 March 2011, Labour list MP Darren Hughes resigned from Parliament. Whilst Tizard was next in line, Labour Party president Andrew Little expressed preference for Louisa Wall to replace Hughes as she intended to contest the 2011 general election,<ref name="Wall predicted">Template:Cite news</ref> unlike Tizard and the four other list candidates preceding Wall (Mark Burton, Mahara Okeroa, Martin Gallagher and Dave Hereora). Tizard, like her lower-ranked colleagues, decided not to take the seat.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Tizard now works in the constituency office of Phil Twyford, incumbent Member for Te Atatū.

ControversyEdit

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} In 2008 Tizard championed an amendment to the Copyright Act, which required internet service providers (ISPs) to develop policies to terminate the Internet account of repeat copyright infringers. She defended this position when meeting Internet lobby groups, saying it is necessary to protect New Zealand artists, and referred to the release of New Zealand film Sione's Wedding, which, she claimed, was damaged by unlawful distribution on the Internet.Template:Citation needed

On 16 October 2008, a press release<ref>Judith Tizard, Ministers call for end to fear mongering over copyright changes Template:Webarchive, press release, 16 October 2008. Accessed 19 February 2008. Originally available at http://feeds.beehive.govt.nz/release/ministers+call+end+fear+mongering+over+copyright+changes Template:Dead link.</ref> was published by Tizard responding to "alarmist claims made by a small group of IT commentators in the media that recent amendments to the Copyright Act would have ISPs cutting off the accounts of their users based on unsubstantiated accusations of copyright infringement. [...] This is quiet [sic] simply untrue, and I am sure they know it." That press release seems to have been retracted.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 23 March 2009, the Prime Minister John Key announced that the law would not take effect and would be re-written.<ref>'Why did New Zealand drop plans to cut off net users?'</ref>

Personal lifeEdit

In 1993, aged 37, Tizard had a hysterectomy and surgery for uterine cancer from which she recovered.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
