There must be an election on . . . although that's a bit unfair because Winston Peter has been a regular speaker at Upper Hutt Grey Power over the years. And it looks like he made a few good points too.
What will the election for our seat of Rimutaka bring, we can only wonder.
Are their any issues we as a community need our candidates to address?
And would you be keen on a all-in public meeting, would you attend or are they a thing of the past?
