All eyes on the Mount Albert by-election
All eyes on the Mount Albert by-election
Who will replace New Zealand's most LGBT-friendly Prime Minister in Auckland's Mount Albert electorate? On the campaign trail, the four main candidates answered our questions.
We had two questions for each candidate:
Q: Helen Clark was a very gay-friendly Prime Minister. If elected, will you continue her tradition of strong advocacy for LGBT people in Mt Albert?
Q: What do you and your party offer to a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender resident of Mount Albert who might be undecided about who to vote for in this by-election?
On GayNZ.com today we reveal how the Greens' Russel Norman, National's Melissa Lee, Act's John Boscawen and Labour's David Shearer each responded.
