Walker resigns candidacy

Hamish Walker has resigned as National’s candidate for Southland. This is the right decision.

It is worth noting how quickly Muller dealt with this, compared to Ardern with her Ministers.

• Walker resigned two days after Muller made aware of what he did
• Meka Whaitiri – sacked 22 days after Ardern aware of assault allegations
• Clare Curran – sacked from Cabinet 150 days after Ardern aware she misled Parliament
• David Clark – resignation accepted 88 days after he breaches his own lockdown rules
• Phil Twyford =- still there!

One focus now will be on who will replace Walker as National’s candidate for Southland. I’ve written on Patreon on who I see as the three leading candidates.
