It’s our home electorate, and Mt Albert is shaping up to be one of the spiciest contests of the election. That’s why we held a debate putting Labour incumbent Helen White head to head with National’s Melissa Lee, the Greens’ Ricardo Menéndez March, Opportunity’s Qiulae Wong, Act’s Alex Price and NZ First’s Sheldon Eden-Whaitiri, with The Spinoff’s Toby Manhire moderating.
