Goldsmith Eyes Safe Seat in Kaipara | Wellington News

Paul Goldsmith could be set for a strategic move to Kaipara ki Mahurangi, the safe National seat vacated by Chris Penk, as his current Epsom seat faces uncertainty with ACT’s David Seymour holding it and National’s list ranking in doubt. With Goldsmith ranked sixth on the party list, securing a win in this newly created electorate — which replaced Helensville — might be his best shot at Parliament. Labour’s Jo Swinburn is optimistic despite the seat’s National stronghold, sensing voter discontent. While Goldsmith remains tight-lipped, taking over Penk’s ministerial role hints at his growing importance — and the race is on to see if he’ll officially switch electorates.
