[edit] Member of Parliament
Mackey entered Parliament on 29 July 2003 as the next candidate on Labour's party list after Graham Kelly vacated his seat. Her mother, Janet Mackey, also sat as a Labour MP until 2005 — the two formed the first mother-daughter pair in Parliament. In the elections that year, Janet Mackey retired from politics, and Moana Mackey contested but narrowly lost the East Coast electorate seat formerly held by her mother. She returned to the House however as a List MP.
