ACT Leader to be announced at 12.30

ACT announce the new Leader of ACT at 12.30. Will supply name when known, but my expectation is it will be John Banks as he is their sole MP. The fact Catherine Isaacs has taken up a role on the charter schools taskforce suggests she won’t be taking up a leadership role.

UPDATE: And as predicted the “new” Leader is John Banks.

Heh, NZ Herald reporter Claire Trevett tweeted the following:

Banks fends off rest of caucus to win coveted and hotly contested job of Act’s leader.

Superb.
