From humble beginnings as the daughter of Labour-voting farming parents, Judith Collins has carved a path to almost the very top of politics. The youngest daughter of older parents, Judith Collins grew up in rural Walton, Waikato on a dairy farm. At the age of 10 she entered politics, running for Class President. She won. After a successful career as a lawyer, Collins became the MP for Papakura in 2002, alongside fellow new recruit, John Key.
