Herald on Joyce Add this story to Scoopit!.

The Herald has a profile on Steven Joyce, including some quotes from me.Some interesting background I didn’t know about:

Joyce was born and grew up in New Plymouth, attending Francis Douglas Memorial College, then Kapiti College.

His father, a Four Square grocer, was from Eltham and his mother came from Kaponga before moving to Stratford. Joyce says his father was a middle-distance runner, who would run from Eltham to Stratford to visit his mother and run back again.

Joyce was raised a Catholic, and went to church every Sunday until he left home. Now he says he is “not really” religious.

I can normally spot the lapsed Catholics!

    Interesting read about Joyce.

    Are there many lapsed catholics in the National Party?

    The Alliance Party in its hey day was full of them.
