Richard Worth
National Candidate For Epsom
"ACT MP
Rodney Hide’s trumpeting of his commitment to Epsom needs to
be judged by his no-shows at public meetings with other
candidates", said Epsom National Party candidate, Richard

"He has a record of not fronting up for
meetings when policy is to be discussed. He runs for

"Three examples of his no-shows are:
21 July
1999 at the Cathedral Forum at the Holy Trinity Cathedral,
Parnell; 17 October 1999 at the Eden Assembly of God for
Politicians Sunday; and 28 October 1999 at St Andrews

Epsom expects more than that. I believe the
electorate wants someone who knows the issues of Auckland
firsthand, lives in the electorate and attends to the
individual and group concerns of the people in our area. Mr
Hide's record fails on all
accounts.

He needs more time to figure out a response? OK, but the clock is ticking.
