Jenny shipley's experience

Jennifer Marie shipley (1February 4th, 952-), the 36th Prime Minister of New Zealand (term1February 8th, 997 to1February 5th, 999), was also the first woman in New Zealand.

Jenny shipley was born in Gore, South Island. Her father is a priest. 197 1 year, she graduated as a teacher and taught in a primary school until 1976.

Jenny shipley has been a member of the New Zealand National Party since 1975, and has been a leader at the grassroots level for a long time. She has done a lot of practical things for the local government. 1987, she was successfully elected as a member of the ashburton constituency. After being elected as a member of parliament, shipley was appointed as the Minister of Social Welfare and the spokesman of the Ministry of Health in the shadow cabinet of the National Party. During her tenure, she actively solved many important problems for women. With outstanding work performance, shipley's position in the shadow cabinet rose rapidly, and this front-row member, who had never been noticed, was quickly promoted to 1 1 of the ruling National Party.

Jenny shipley served as Minister of Social Welfare and Minister of Women's Affairs after the New Zealand National Party led by James Brendan Bolger won the general election in 1990, and as Minister of Health in 1993. During her tenure, she was a controversial figure, and a large number of measures, such as cutting social welfare and reforming the medical system, caused great controversy. With the growing dissatisfaction within the National Party with its leader, James bolger, Jenny shipley successfully won the support of most members of the Party during her overseas visit in February. 1997 forced James bolger to resign and succeed her as the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

Although she led New Zealand through the parliamentary election dispute crisis and the Asian economic crisis during her tenure as Prime Minister, she achieved an economic growth rate of 4%, which laid the foundation for New Zealand's economic success. But Jenny shipley's government is still very unstable. Especially during this period, the relationship between the National Party and its alliance partner, New Zealand Priority Party, continued to deteriorate. 1August 1998 14, winston peters, leader of New Zealand Priority Party, was finally excluded from the government cabinet, marking the end of the cooperation between the two parties. The breakdown of the alliance also brought trouble to the priority party. Party leader winston peters, with the support of more than half of party member, stopped supporting Jenny shipley's government. However, there are still many members of the Priority Party who quit the party, become independent members, or try to form their own political parties. Jenny shipley has never followed half the members of the Priority Party, and succeeded in getting enough votes to maintain the government of the National Party. In the 1999 election, the National Party led by Jenny shipley was defeated by the New Zealand Labor Party led by Helen Clark.

Jenny shipley was the leader of the National Party until 20065438+065438+February, and Bill Ingley took her place. Jenny shipley retired from Congress and officially retired from politics. After retiring from politics, she ran her own consulting company, served as a consultant for many companies, and also participated in the business of other companies, helping New Zealand educational institutions and private companies to improve their performance and explore the international market. She made many business visits to China and made outstanding contributions to the economic, tourism and commercial cooperation between China and New Zealand.
