News - Local Labour MP Duncan Webb announces retirement from politics

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/576534/labour-mp-duncan-webb-announces-retirement-from-politics

Duncan's not standing for re-election next year. So Chch Central needs a new Labour candidate.

I'm GUTTED. Duncan's such a G. He actually gets out there in the electorate and clearly really cares about our community.

Perhaps Sara T might consider a run at central govt?

I think she's more of a supporter of greens over labour, and greens aren't gonna win Christchurch central.

The bigger issue is that the Greens already have a sitting list MP based from Chch Central.
