Bernie Ogilvy

Bernard James (Bernie) Ogilvy was a New Zealand politician. He was a member of the United Future New Zealand party, having been elected to Parliament as a list MP in the 2002 elections.

Before entering national politics, he lectured at Auckland's Masters Institute, a fundamentalist teachers college [ [http://www.qpec.org.nz/privatisation/Maxim_Institute.doc Quality Public Education Coalition] , "The Maxim Institute"] , as well as being involved with Youth With A Mission. Like his colleagues, Murray Smith, Paul Adams and Larry Baldock, Ogilvy was an evangelical or fundamentalist Christian. Like the above, and Marc Alexander, he was evicted from the 48th New Zealand Parliament at the New Zealand general election 2005 when his party's electoral support fell to one third its previous level.

Ogilvy has recently reappeared as Secretary of the newly independent Future New Zealand party, after Gordon Copeland seceded from United Future over Peter Dunne's support for Sue Bradford's Child Discipline Bill, which outlaws most forms of parental corporal punishment of children in New Zealand. He also made the application for the The Kiwi Party to the Electoral Commission.
