Michael Collins to Stand for ACT in Mana

I was interested to read on DPF's blog that my old foe, Michael Collins is standing for ACT in Mana. Michael stood against me for VUWSA President, and ran an admirable campaign, which subsequently got 4 of his ticket elected to exec.

Although our politics are chalk-and-cheese different, I hold a high level of respect for Michael, and wish him well. Standing for a neo-liberal (or what ever label ACT use nowdays) in Porirua - a city hit hard, but recovering slowly from factory closures and the like - takes a certain amount of guts.
