Updates:
Deborah Russell is no longer listed as a current MP or as an incumbent.
Deborah’s quoted reason for standing is “A commitment to fairness. … For people to be free, you have to enable freedom.” (NZ Herald p D21, September 19, 2017).
It is sad it took so many days for Deborah to remove potentially misleading wording from her profile; it is also sad she did not let me know she had done this.
Note:
Some other Wikipedia pages may have changed (hopefully) by the time you read this.
New Zealand has a general election taking place presently.
A level playing field
To the elections this spring
All we want to do is bring
Fairness and equity
Lack of perplexity
Not party bellyaching!
