Shout-out for Shane Jones in Labour members’ bill

It’s gone beyond an open secret that former Labour MP Shane Jones is seeking to return to Parliament with NZ First. Labour MP David Parker forwent immediate personal glory, when his bill to better enforce the provisions of the Official Information Act was pulled from the ballot, by working Jones into a press release. ‘‘The bill originally drafted by Shane Jones and designed to help media access government information is back in Parliament before the man,’’ joked Parker.
