CHNZ Director Steps
Down
After a meeting of the Christian Heritage NZ Board,
CHNZ policy director Mark Munroe has decided to step down
from his position. Mr Munroe said,
“Given the negative
publicity surrounding my email comments about the Capill

for me to step down. It has been distressing for me that my

trauma and pain that has been caused by Graham Capill’s
actions.”
Party leader Ewen McQueen said there would be no
further comment on the
matter.
