Yes, Winnie Laban tonight won the Government section of the Wellingtonian of the Year Awards.
Winnie has had a tough year with her fight against cancer. She has continued to work hard for her constituency and New Zealand. She wants to make this a better place. It is a great shame she has not been a Minister inside Cabinet. Cabinet could have done with her wisdom.
Well done Winnie. We think you will hold Mana.
