Michael Wood on Mt Roskill

The Mt Roskill by-election is taking place this Saturday, following the standing-down of Phil Goff to be Auckland Mayor.

It’s to decide who will be the first new MP to represent the area in 32 years.

Advance voting has been open for a week now, but votes are lagging behind those of the 2014 general election.

We spoke to the Labour party's Michael Wood, and the new immigrant-focused People’s Party’s Roshan Nauhria.
