Mackenzie won the Auckland East electorate in a 1921 by-election[1] after the resignation of Arthur Myers,[2] but was defeated in the next election in 1922 by John A. Lee.[3]
A son of Sir Thomas Mackenzie, who was High Commissioner in London and was previously a Liberal politician (and Prime Minister in 1912), he enlisted in the Army in World War I. He was blinded at Gallipoli.[4]
He was active in organisations for the blind; he was attached to the UN and was Chairman of the World Braille Council. He was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 1935 New Year Honours.[5] Later that year he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.[6]
Mackenzie died in Auckland in 1966,[7] and his ashes were buried in the Dunedin Northern Cemetery.[8]
