A tale of two candidates
Interesting to compare the backgrounds of the two main candidates in Mt Roskill.
Parmjeet Parmar’s background is:
- Bachelors and Masters in Biochemistry
- a PhD in neuroscience
- Scientist with published papers
- Operations Director of a confectionery and natural health product manufacturing enterprise
- Business owner
- Worked as a broadcaster for 16 years
- Chair of NZ Sikh Women’s Association
Michael Wood’s background is:
- Young Labour President
- Labour local Campaign Manager
- Labour candidate in Pakuranga, Botany and Epsom
- Member of Puketāpapa Local Board
- Member Labour Policy Council
- Negotiator for Finsec union and Amalgamated Workers Union
Quite a contrast I thought.
