Scoop Images: Radio NZ Minor Parties Leaders'
Debate
A small, mostly polite crowd was able
to observe the democratic process first hand over the
weekend in Wellington. Six leaders from the minor parties
(represented in Parliament) were invited by Radio New
Zealand to take part in a debate moderated by Nine till
Noon's Linda Clark and Morning Report's Sean Plunket.
Tragically for any New Zealand First supporters in the
audience NZ Firsts' leader Winston Peters decided not to
come along.
