Inga now a right winger says Laban

"We always knew that Michael Jones played for the blue team, but Inga was a left winger on the rugby field. Now he is telling us he is a right winger,” says Pacific Island Affairs Minister Luamanuvao Winnie Laban.

“Labour is the party of choice for Pacific people. Under Labour, Pacific unemployment has dramatically decreased and education and income levels are improving.

"Labour is committed to working with, and delivering for, our Pacific communities. Labour’s Pacific Island Policy document runs to fourteen pages, in comparison to National's one pager.

“Pacific people have done well under a Labour government – our people trust Helen Clark’s leadership, and the Labour team.

“I am surprised to see Michael and Inga joining Key and the National Party team that includes players like Lockwood-Smith with his dated and out of touch views about Pacific people. We don't need retired rugby players telling our people how to vote,” said Winnie Laban.
