Member of Parliament

When Don McKinnon resigned, however, Anae entered Parliament as his replacement. In the 2002 election, Anae was ranked lowly on the party list (in 28th place), could not win the Шаблон:NZ electorate link electorate (he came a distant second to Labour's Ross Robertson), and was thus not returned to Parliament.[4] At the time, he was highly critical of the National Party for his low list ranking and perceived it as an insult to the Pacific community.[5]

In the 2010 Auckland Council elections Anae was elected from the Manukau ward to serve in the newly formed Auckland Council and served as the Chair of the Council's Economic Forum. He was re-elected in 2013, but did not stand at the 2016 elections, and opted to leave politics.[7] His seat was won by Efeso Collins at the 2016 elections.
