Published: Fri 23 Feb 2001 10:15 AM
In response to media requests, ACT Leader Hon Richard Prebble today confirmed that he had been asked to stand as a candidate for Wellington Central should there be a by-election.
“I was honoured to be the Member of Parliament for the capital. Even my critics agree that I am a very effective local MP and that I had the profile to promote Wellington issues.
“My criticism of Marian Hobbs has not been about her inability to say where she lives, but that she has been an ineffective MP for the electorate,” Hon Richard Prebble said.
