Peter Goodfellow (politician)


Peter Goodfellow is a New Zealand businessman and politician, currently serving as President of the New Zealand National Party.
Goodfellow was a long-time National Party activist. On 2 August 2009, he succeeded Judy Kirk as Party President. In 2009, Goodfellow faced early opposition from within the party, with reports that events instigating the breakup of his marriage had soured his relationship with the party directors. However, he was re-elected by the party's Board of Directors in July 2010.
He is the son of Douglas Goodfellow & grandson of Sir William Goodfellow. The wealth of the Goodfellow family was estimated at $500 million in 2013, largely acquired through investment in the dairy farming industry.
