Tariana Explains Why Her Vote Went To Clem
Scoop: Why did you vote for Clem Simich as Speaker rather than Margaret Wilson or Ken Shirley?
Tariana Turia: Because I found Clem Simich very good in the role of Speaker. He is also one of the real gentlemen of Parliament. He is very respectful to everybody and I looked at our kaupapa -and his behaviour is always mana enhancing – so that's why I voted for him.
Scoop: So it was purely because you'd seen him do the job before and you had faith in him?
Tariana Turia:
Yes and I just think that he [Mr Simich] is extremely
respectful to all people at all time and I like that.
