More disruption at latest Mt Albert by-election debate

There has been a sticky interruption at a debate between the Mt Albert by-election candidates.

National's Melissa Lee, the Greens' Russel Norman, Labour's David Shearer and ACT's John Boscawen took part in the debate at Unitec Institute of Technology.

Debate chairman Greg Powell says there was one interruption when Mr Boscawen was speaking. He says an independent candidate slipped behind him and slapped a lamington on his head.

Mr Powell says the debate was an opportunity for students to find out who can best represent Mt Albert.
