Report – By PMC Newsdesk.
Former Labour cabinet minister and MP Luamanuvao Winnie Laban has announced she will be resigning from Parliament to take up a new role as Assistant Vice Chancellor Pasifika at Victoria University.
In a statement today Winnie Laban said: "I have worked out that it's time for me to step away from Parliament now. This career move is an exciting one and I am very privileged and honoured to be able to be the MP for Mana and I am very proud of my Party.
"This [new role] enables me to continue my passion for Pacific people, young people and more importantly having a role in education outcomes that will lead to stronger economic development for the Pacific community," Winnie Laban said.
Labour leader Phil Goff praised Winnie Laban's contribution to Pacific people and to politics in New Zealand: "Winnie has made a significant contribution to Pasifika and this is a new opportunity for her as a Labour member to continue to work to raise Pasifika aspirations and achievements," Phil Goff said.
He said: "We are delighted she has been appointed to the position and she remains a strong supporter of the Labour Party."
