Naturally enough I am interested in who is on the ACT list this year. According to the NZ Herald:
On Friday it issued its list of 47 candidates, with only one identifying as Maori.
Anyone know where the list was published?

It wasn't published and it isn't a candidate list. It was a ballot send to members where they can rank their candidates, which might be used as input for the party list.
BdB - does this mean that ACT is becoming aligned with The Greens because isn't that what they do - lol.
Ahaaaah. THAT solves the mystery.
The Herald got it wrong.
Again.
Yeah, but the money is not kiwi? it's Chinese?
It won't be much of a surprise Lindsay. Apart from Brash and one other, the top ten are all very pro-Rodney. Which just goes to show that the dysfunctional board is still controlled by Rodney. Apparently, there was a solid Hide-ist block on the board that hunted as a pack to ensure the "correct" people filled the top ten. The fact that the incumbent president can get a top 10 list spot is questionable - although he did excuse himself from the list selection process so I guess that shows some integrity. Numbers 9 and 10 may come as a surprise - especially number 10 whom nobody in the party will have heard of! Once again the board is parachuting their mates into the top spots. At least no-one "purchased" their top 5 spot this time - well not yet anyway.
