Out MP Kevin Hague has been ranked third on the Green Party list, behind only the party's co-leaders Metiria Turei and Russel Norman. The proud West Coaster, gay rights activist and former head of the New Zealand AIDS Foundation is staunchly vocal on glbt issues, as well as obviously being incredibly passionate about the environment. Before being elected to Parliament he was the Chief Executive of the West Coast District Health Board and is the Greens' health spokesman. Hague was ranked 7th on the Green Party list at the 2008 election. The Party holds its annual conference and AGM next weekend in Pt Chevalier, Auckland and is expected to confirm its political positioning at the conference.
