Labour Honoured To Receive National Party Endorsement
I acknowledge and accept the endorsement of the National candidate for Botany, Pansy Wong, who yesterday in an attack on the Act Party, said that Botany does not want “more Chinese MPs” to represent them.
As she is highly placed on the National Party list and is therefore assured of a seat in Parliament, she is clearly not wanting Act to receive the electorate vote and is quite happy to be the List MP for Botany. The lack of trust displayed between the parties of the right, is matched only by the lack of trust that the electorate has of National’s leadership and policies.
One can only assume National is giving their support to me as the Labour candidate to represent the Botany electorate effectively, and obviously means that Pansy Wong trusts me and the Labour Party.
I am heartened to receive the support and endorsement of the National Party in this close fought election Campaign
Koro Tawa
Labour Candidate
Botany Electorate.
