Will it be 5th time lucky for Jones?

Shane Jones has confirmed he is standing for Northland. No one is surprised by this. He has spent billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money trying to buy the seat.

His electoral record to date is below:

• 2005 – got 24% of the electorate vote in Northland
• 2008 – got 29% of the electorate vote in Northland
• 2011 – got 34% of the electorate vote in Tamaki Makarau
• 2017 – got 19% of the electorate vote in Whangarei

His record to date makes Sue Moroney look like an electoral superstar.
