MP goes above and beyond the call of duty

In an age of perceived isolation from our elected representatives in Wellington I was surprised as a 13 year old to be able to secure the Co-Leader of the Greens, Metiria Turei, onto my community radio show.

When I emailed her I was expecting some automated reply saying that she was too busy, but no I got a very helpful email from her PA wanting to call me and secure this interview, she was actually keen.

When she arrived in the studio a couple of Wednesdays ago, she was very positive and professional, she resisted the urge to patronise me and answered the questions respectfully as if being interviewed by Paul Holmes.

I would like to thank Ms. Turei for her help and I throughly recommend her as a good list MP from Dunedin who is ready to go above and beyond the call of duty.
