Information About Chris Baillie

Christopher John Baillie is a New Zealand politician who became a Member of Parliament for New Zealand at the 2020 general election, as a representative of the ACT New Zealand party.

In a speech to Parliament, Baillie said that he was born to a unionist, Labour-supporting household and he believes his contrasting political views originated from his father’s support for marine engineer workers on strike. Baillie said that, at 12 years old, he considered the strike unreasonable.

Baillie worked in the police for 14 years, has owned a pub, and has worked as a special needs teacher. While working as a teacher he initiated a discussion group at his school, Nayland College, prompted by what he perceived as “hysteria” about climate change, and the effect of this on student mental health. Some of Baillie’s former students have criticised his meetings, where he reportedly spoke out against well-known climate change activists including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Greta Thunberg. Many people have criticised Baillie for being a climate change denier, however, Baillie rejects the term.
