Least surprising news ever

Stuff reports:

Former Wellington City councillor Fleur Fitzsimons has been confirmed as the candidate for the Rongotai electorate.

The Labour Party selected Fitzsimons – who was unopposed – at a meeting on Saturday.

This is about as surprising as winter following autumn.

Fitzsimons is a union lawyer and former student president at Victoria University and the New Zealand University Students Association, and current Public Service Association assistant secretary.

Labour is drastically short of former student presidents and union officials, so great to see them addressing this under-representation.
