ACT list

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?

  1. 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.

  2. BdB - does this mean that ACT is becoming aligned with The Greens because isn't that what they do - lol.

  3. Ahaaaah. THAT solves the mystery.

    The Herald got it wrong.

    Again.

    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.
