Labour’s strong week – National and land sales to foreigners

Written By: mickysavage - Date published: 9:05 am, April 30th, 2016 - 63 comments

Michael Wood standing for Mt Roskill

Written By: lprent - Date published: 3:30 pm, April 16th, 2016 - 17 comments

Michael Wood has announced his candidacy to be nominated as the Labour candidate for Mt Roskill when Phil Goff vies for the Auckland Mayoralty. I can’t think of anyone better for that role or for winning the electorate for the left. Go young Michael. This is an unsolicited and possibly unwanted endorsement from me.
