1977

She was elected a member of the Auckland Electric Power Board in 1977, remaining a member until 1983.

Her mother commented that it was "...another telling demonstration of the power of a recognisable name on a ticket. As she (Judith) said herself, who in their right mind would elect a 21-year-old barmaid to run a power board? That's how she had described herself on the ticket."

Later, Tizard finished her Bachelor of Arts (BA) in History from the University of Auckland.

2008

Before the 2008 general election Tizard was given the list placing of 38, a relatively low one for a minister.

She was then defeated in her electorate by National's Nikki Kaye by a margin of 1,497 votes.

Her list placing meant she would not return to parliament unless Labour list MPs quit.

In 2008 Tizard championed an amendment to the Copyright Act, which required internet service providers (ISPs) to develop policies to terminate the Internet account of repeat copyright infringers.

She defended this position when meeting Internet lobby groups, saying it is necessary to protect New Zealand artists, and referred to the release of New Zealand film Sione's Wedding, which, she claimed, was damaged by unlawful distribution on the Internet.

On 16 October 2008, a press release was published by Tizard responding to "alarmist claims made by a small group of IT commentators in the media that recent amendments to the Copyright Act would have ISPs cutting off the accounts of their users based on unsubstantiated accusations of copyright infringement. [...] This is quiet [sic] simply untrue, and I am sure they know it."

That press release seems to have been retracted.

2009

On 23 March 2009, the Prime Minister John Key announced that the law would not take effect and would be re-written.

2011

Tizard, like her lower-ranked colleagues, decided not to take the seat.
