More on Bruce Gregory
Description from Wikipedia:
Bruce Craig Gregory (born 1937) was a New Zealand politician of the Labour Party.
In 1979 Matiu Rata, a Labour cabinet minister, resigned from the party, because he disagreed with the party’s Māori policy. In 1980 Rata resigned from Parliament, and founded the Mana Motuhake party. He then contested the ensuing Northern Māori by-election, hoping to get a mandate for the new party and for his change of allegiance. But in the by-election Rata was second, and got 991 fewer votes than the new Labour candidate.
Gregory won Northern Māori for Labour, and held the seat until 1993, when Tau Henare won the seat for New Zealand First.
