Ingrid Leary has been the MP for Taieri for only a minute and ahalf, but she has already had an early experience of the lot of an electorate MP.
Ms Leary was in the North Island for her mother’s birthday, when she had to drop everything and race home due to the extensive flooding brought about by our stellar summer weather.
She was out and about on the plain for what remained of the emergency, and has pledged to work with the community on flood mitigation in the future.
