Two Wellingtonians have become Companions of the New Zealand Order of Merit in today’s New Year Honours List:
Sue Chetwin, for services to consumer rights.
Having begun her career in journalism, Ms Chetwin was editor of the Sunday News from 1994 to 1998, the Sunday Star-Times from 1998 to 2003, and founding editor of the Herald on Sunday from 2003 to 2005. As Chief Executive of Consumer New Zealand from 2007 to 2020 she successfully campaigned for many important consumer law reforms, including prohibitions on unfair contract terms, fairness in consumer credit contracts, country of origin labelling, and controlling door knockers. She has led other successful campaigns on behalf of consumers including calling for mandatory standards for sunscreens, helping to regulate mobile truck shops, and calling out businesses on misleading claims such as greenwashing. Her commitment to consumer rights have contributed to New Zealand having a strong consumer protection ethos. She has advocated for consumers at Parliamentary committees and other public arenas both nationally and internationally. Ms Chetwin serves as a Board member of the Financial Markets Authority and Food Standards Australia New Zealand, is a member of a Law Society Steering Group for the review of the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006, and is Chair of the InternetNZ Policy Review Advisory Panel, reviewing the ‘.nz’ domain name space.
