Totally unexpectedly, a particular person got the nomination for O'Hareau, and we were all sitting there stunned, and he stood up and said, oh, I've won, I've won, and Simon Upton came up to me because he came out for the selection and said, this seat has had the Right Honourable Sir John Marshall. The Honourable Hugh Templeton, and now we've got Bugs Bunny, and indeed that was the case, and the Labour Peter Dunn won the seat by four or five hundred more than he otherwise would have, and that was decisive in 1990 when he held on to the seat when National should have won it. So candidate selections in MMP are obviously party vote that matters. But good candidates selections are very, very important and how Simon O'Connor ever lost Tamaki is something that I regard as one of the more remarkable feats of incompetence in my time in politics.
