Paul East
Rt. Hon. Paul East, QC, CNZM

As our City’s former Member of Parliament, District Councillor and Deputy Mayor, Paul East certainly has a high community profile.

Rising to the position of Attorney-General in his parliamentary career, he more recently represented New Zealand as our High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and became a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) in the 2005 Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his services to Parliament and the law.

Having returned to Rotorua in 2002, Paul is currently chair of the Charity Gaming Association and is a director of Benfield (NZ) Ltd, Taylors Group Limited and Agriquality Limited.

A member of the Eisenhower Fellowship Board and an associate of the Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of New Zealand, he is also a trustee of the Antarctic Heritage Trust and the Rotorua Museum Centennial Trust.

Raised in Rotorua, Paul was educated in Auckland where he gained his law degree. Awarded the Du Pont Fellowship, he went on to study law at the University of Virginia in the United States. He became a Queen’s Counsel in 1995.

Paul enjoys golf, fishing and skiing. He is married to Lyn and they have three adult daughters.
