Former cabinet minister, Michael Wood, will be running for the Labour Party in next year’s general election.

He’ll be running for the Mt Roskill seat.

The former MP’s career came crashing down in 2023, after he was forced to resign as Minister for Transport after it was revealed he failed to disclose his airport shares.

He resigned from his remaining ministerial portfolios after the discovery of additional shares held by his trust.

Today on The Front Page, Michael Wood joins us to launch his comeback, what he’s learned, and how he’ll work to gain back the public’s confidence.
