| Description | A Hamilton woman says she was embarrassed and offended when front-running city mayoral candidate Martin Elliott wiggled his little finger in her face and told her his main rival for the city's top political job "had a small one".
Alvina Barrett said the Fraser High School principal made the gesture at a public "meet the candidates" election meeting at Fairfield Community Hall on Monday. The meeting was organised by Te Whare o Te Ata Community House, where she works as the house co-ordinator.
"He approached me very closely in the kitchen," she said. "I know Martin, and I know someone who has worked with him, but I'm not that familiar with him.
"He questioned me and asked if I supported the Michael Redman campaign. I said yes, I thought he was a good candidate, and he said he had good knowledge that Michael actually had a little one, and waved his little finger around."
