Name[edit]

Dr Neru Leavasa (the most comon presentation of his name) appears in some places referred to as "Dr Anae Neru Leavasa", and in some places as "Anae Dr Neru Leavasa". I don't know if Anae is a title, or part of his name. HenryCrun15 (talk) 00:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can't help with that, sorry, but I noticed that when you created the page, you said in your edit summary that secondary sources were needed. This Spinoff article, https://thespinoff.co.nz/auckland/06-08-2020/welcome-to-takanini-the-sparkling-new-seat-in-the-2020-election/ has some of the biographical details currently derived from party sources. It may also be worth noting his views on abortion, as mentioned in this article, https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/07-08-2020/abortion-became-legal-in-march-but-it-still-divides-labour-in-south-auckland/.
