Yep You got that right Das.. She is very good too.. Also a new Labour
gov(center left) led by NZ's first elected woman PM (Helen Clark ), 35 of
the 120 members of Parliament are women and also 2 homosexual MP's.. Until
we have all the Special votes counted we may end up with 6 Green seats as
well..It appears the feminine energy is alive and well here in NZ..
