Contest For National Nominations in Wellington

Tracy Watkins has survived her "run" around the bays on Sunday and has written an article on the contests for the National nominations for some of the Wellington seats. She reports that in Wellington Central Stephen Franks is squaring off with former rugby player Paul Quinn. She reports also that Chris Finlayson is seeking the Rongotai nomination while Hekia Parata is seeking Mana. We hear the same speculation and understand that if Quinn fails in Wellington Central he could be offered the chance to run against Trevor Mallard in the Hutt. It is a pity that Tracy's analysis did not extent as far north as Rimutaka. Who is National going to run there????
