Cathy Casey

Cathy Casey is a New Zealand politician who was an Auckland Councillor, for the Albert-Eden-Roskill Ward, prior to her 2022 retirement.

She has a particular interest in social issues, such as taking a strong stance against bylaws restricting or criminalising begging, considering it an example of a social issue that should not be left to the police to try and manage.[1] She was also supported by various unions for her stance on subjects such as opposition against "casualisation" of Ports of Auckland's wharf workforce, and her support for the living wage campaign.[2]
