M.P. attacks boundary
PA Auckland “There is nothing like a member of Parliament's garden for people to throw cans in.” said a saw-wielding Mr David Lange as he emerged from the depths of his hedge on Tuesday. Mr Lange, deputy leader of the Labour Party, was attacking a rather overgrown stand of trees on the
front of his Mangere property. Among the growth that had almost reached the footpath were cans, papers, and a beer bottle. Mr Lange, with the help of his wife. Naomi, and his three children — Roy, aged 11, Byron, aged eight, and Emily, aged six - has cleared a mass of growth from the front of his pro-
perty. It was the first time Mr Lange had the chance to attack the garden in the five years since the family moved in. The hedge-cutting was prompted by a southern visitor who commented to a friend of Mr Lange: "Does that chap Lange live here? Well, he doesn't spend much time cutting his hedge." .
