Ex-All Black great Michael Jones
All Black rugby great Michael Jones is having another
think about whether to enter politics as he prepares to become
a father again.
Jones, who is seen as a possible National Party list
candidate, and wife Maliena are due to have their third child
in June,
That was causing the 44-year-old former flanker to consider
his future again and he expected to have a clear idea in the
next six months about whether to stand for Parliament.
"Obviously there's been an invitation to consider politics,"
he told The New Zealand Herald.
"Whilst there is a part of me that says I don't know if it's
naturally where I'd gravitate to, I'd do it if I felt it was
where I would make the most contribution."
Friend and fellow ex-All Black teammate Va'aiga Tuigamala is
expected to make his decision this month about whether to
pursue a parliamentary career.
