The West Coast's much-loved '->-bleeped-<- Granny' Jacquie Grant has been reappointed for another two-year stint on the Human Rights Review Tribunal.
Grant, 65, has been on the Tribunal since 2004, and tells GayNZ.com she didn't expect to be rehired now that there's been a change of government.
"Labour's Margaret Wilson was very supportive of me, but with her lot gone I thought I'd be out. But now Simon Power has reappointed for two more years, so I guess I did a good job," she laughs.
