In cooker news, George Ngatai has resigned from ACT after being selected as a candidate only last month.
It turns out old George was was originally told he wasn't fit for NZFirst "due to his connections to Destiny Church." So he began hawking himself around various parties including Act and Opportunity looking for a new political home.
Then somehow he was accepted into NZFirst before his infidelities were exposed and now he's out on his ear.
It's tough being a professional cooker.
