Auckland seat of Otara in the New Zealand general election 1993. From the
New Zealand general election 1996 he has served as MP for
Mangere, in succession to
David Lange. He held the position of Minister outside
New Zealand Cabinet, with the Portfolio (government)s of Associate Minister for Pacific Island Affairs, Associate Minister for Social Development and Employment, and Associate Minister for Justice until he was stood down in 2005.
In the
2005 general election, Field won a majority of more than 16,000 over his nearest opponent, Clem Simich of the National Party, this was the greatest majority in any electorate seat in New Zealand.
Conflict of interest allegations
In 2005, Field was stood down from his ministerial posts following controversies around allegations that he had improperly used his influence as an MP to receive material gain. In particular, it was alleged that he had used his position as a member of parliament to obtain a work permit for a non-resident who had worked as a tiler at reduced hourly rates on his home in Samoa. It was also alleged that Field had used his position to obtain a discounted price for a property deal he had constructed with low-income welfare beneficiaries in his electorate. An inquiry cleared him of any conflict of interest, but did criticise his judgement over the events.
Further allegations of improper behaviour were made by the Television New Zealand
Sunday program on 27 August 2006, which led to Prime Minister Helen Clark saying that Field should reconsider his future as an MP. New Zealand Police launched an investigation the following day into claims that Field had benefited from helping people with immigration applications. Field was put on indefinite paid leave from Parliament by the
New Zealand Labour Party. After Field made comments to the media that he may run against the Labour Party in a future election, steps were taken on
13 February 2007 by Labour to expel Field from the Party.
Independent
On
14 February 2007, Field was formally expelled from the Parliamentary Labour Party which was announced by Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Margaret Wilson. To forestall moves to expel him from the Labour Party, Field resigned from the Labour Party on
16 February 2007, returning to Parliament as an independent, but promising to support the Government's legislative programme; however, on 21 February he voted against the Labour Party on Green MP Sue Bradfords members' bill to amend section 59 of the
Crimes Act 1961.
New political party
The
Sunday Star-Times reported on
15 April 2007 that Field is to form a new political party, based on family values. Mr Field cited opposition to Sue Bradford's Bill to remove the defence for child discipline as an example of a "groundswell of Christian people" and stated "There is a vacuum, there is room for a political party... people are looking for a new vehicle." Mr Field has also had meetings with Destiny Church political party Destiny New Zealand leader
Richard Lewis (politician) over a possible alliance.
Criminal charges
On
24 May 2007, police announced that they would seek the leave of the High Court to lay corruption charges against Field (a necessary procedural step when such are laid in New Zealand). The offence, corruption and bribery of a member of Parliament, carries a maximum sentence of 7 years' imprisonment, and Field faces 14 charges. If Field is convicted, his Parliamentary seat will be vacated, and a by-election may be held (which will depend on when it occurs - if it is within six months of an election a by-election is not automatic) . There is also speculation that Field will face a number of charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice, perhaps related to witnesses before the Ingram Inquiry.
At a press conference following the police announcement Field asserted his innocence of the charges and expressed his intention to fight both the laying of the charges at the leave hearing, and any charges that might result from the Police application. On 5 October 2007 the High Court ruled that the Police could lay corruption charges against Field. The Thai tiler at the centre of the corruption allegations, Sunan Siriwan, has also announced he will sue Field for $200,000 compensation for the year's work he undertook on Field's property in
Samoa.
