Alexander takes on senior citizens spokesman role
Christchurch-based United Future MP, Marc Alexander, has taken on the task of party spokesman for senior citizens.
“I believe that over the last 30-40 years, we have lost the respect we used to have for our senior citizens as the
elders of our society and I want to see that restored,” he said.
“This is a traditionally marginalized sector of our society that still has a huge amount of experience and knowledge to
offer and we need to make much greater use of that resource.
“If we want a decent, caring society, we have to value our older citizens,” said Mr Alexander.
