ACT leader Richard Prebble says he is
delighted that Stephen Franks is standing for ACT in
Wellington Central.
"I believe Stephen is an ideal
Wellington Central candidate. He is not only a long-time
resident but also high intelligent, Parliament's leading
lawyer and personifies the electorate," Mr Prebble said.
"While Stephen will campaign for the list vote, he will be
able to ensure that ACT's policies of the need for more
personal responsibility can be advocated at candidate
meetings in Wellington Central.
"Wellington Central
is a very important electorate for ACT as it is one of
our best areas of support. I'm sure with Stephen Franks as
our representative, ACT will improve its list vote in
2002," Mr Prebble said.
