Biography

Military career

In 1999 at the age of 18 Rosewarne joined the New Zealand Army and trained as an automotive mechanic. He would later serve as a workshop manager before commissioning as an officer in the Royal New Zealand Army Logistic Regiment in 2017.[1] In 2005 Rosewarne made the first of two deployments to Afghanistan as part of New Zealand's contribution to the War in Afghanistan, making a second in 2012. In-between his two Afghanistan deployments, he served overseas in 2008 in the Solomon Islands as part of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands.[2][3] As a Staff sergeant in 2016 he contributed to the NZ Army response to the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, driving one of 27 trucks carrying over 44 tonnes of vital supplies into the region.[4] He retired from the Army in July 2022 at the rank of Captain just days before his swearing into Parliament.[5]

Political career

In the 2017 general election, Rosewarne stood in the electorate of Waimakariri for the Labour party. Labour's long-running candidate for that electorate, Clayton Cosgrove retired from politics at the 2017 election.[6][7][8] He was defeated by Matt Doocey by 10,766 votes, and his list ranking of 52 was not high enough to see him enter Parliament.[9]

He was reselected three years later to contest Waimakariri again in the 2020 general election.[10] He lost to Doocey again, but picked up a large swing, cutting Doocey's majority to 1,507 votes.[11] He was sworn in at Parliament on 26 July 2022[12] off the Labour list, following the resignation of Kris Faafoi.[13]

Rosewarne unsuccessfully contested the 2023 election on the Labour Party list. Following Labour's election defeat, he expressed regrets at the loss of perks that came with his job as a Member of Parliament including his Air New Zealand Koru Club privileges.[15]

Personal life

He lives in Waimakariri[10] with his wife and their two children.[2] In 2014, Rosewarne was diagnosed with leukaemia and took immunotherapy drugs in order to beat the condition which would have otherwise been terminal.[16]
