Christine Caughey is a former City Councillor in Auckland City, New Zealand, for the Action Hobson ticket. She was successful on gaining election in the 2004 local body elections on an anti-motorway platform in coalition with then Auckland Mayor Dick Hubbard and leading left wing ticket, City Vision (New Zealand Labour Party, Alliance and Green Party grouping) and Labour. She was awarded Metro Magazine's Aucklander of the Year in 2004, primarily for the role she played in politically defeating the Eastern Transport Corridor roading element that was proposed for Hobson Bay by the Waitemata Harbour.
Caughey held the chairmanship of the Environment Heritage and Urban Form Committee.
During the 2004-2007 council term, Caughey and her fellow Action Hobson colleague Richard Simpson have come under significant criticism regarding alleged broken promises on rates in 2005 and again in 2006. They have also been criticised for alleged support for the left leaning City Vision ticket, despite pre-election claims they were conservative. However, Caughey and Simpson argued they tried to broker compromises on a politically splintered council, such as on the billboards and signs laws.[1]
Caughey had unsuccessfully stood for City Vision in a community board by-election in 2003.[2]
Caughey stood again in the Hobson ward for the 2007 local body elections[3], but was defeated along with all other members of her Action Hobson team.
