Sir Frederick Tutu Goodwin KBE (born 13 September 1940) is a Cook Islands politician and former police officer, who was the 6th Queen's Representative to the Cook Islands.
Goodwin was born on Rarotonga on 13 September 1940.[1] He joined the Cook Islands Police in 1956. He served as a constable, then joined the New Zealand Police Force for a short time, before returning to the Cook Islands, where he eventually rose to the rank of Police Superintendent.[2]
On 17 September 1960, Goodwin married Mary Upokoina Teariki Tuavera at Matavera, Rarotonga.[3]
Goodwin was elected to the Cook Islands Parliament at the 1978 election, representing the seat of Te Au O Tonga for the Democratic Party.[2] He served as assistant minister of energy and works in the government of Tom Davis.[2] He then worked as a public servant, before being appointed as Queen's Representative in 2001.[2] In the Birthday Honours 2004 Goodwin was appointed as a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to the community.[4][5]
The decision to reappoint Goodwin for another three-year term as Queen's Representative was made in February 2010, and the Queen of New Zealand signed the warrant of appointment in July, to be effective 10 August 2010.[6][7][8][9] Goodwin stepped down from the role as Queen's Representative on 27 July 2013, being replaced by former Cook Islands Cabinet Minister Tom Marsters.
Goodwin's sister-in-law is MP and Deputy Speaker of the Cook Islands Parliament Cassey Eggelton.[2]
