Dr Jackie Blue

The NZ Herald is profiling some of the new National MPs. Today it is Dr Jackie Blue.

When asked who she respects outside her own party:

There’s only one person who would get that award and without any hesitation, I’d say Tariana Turia. I worked with her on the health committee and she is a woman of integrity … she just blows me away, quite frankly. I respect her totally: she stands true to herself, true to her [Maori] Party.
