From Morning Report, 7:38 am on 17 August 2022

The principal of Christchurch's Te Aratai College says voters should do their research on candidates standing in his school's board elections.

White supremacist Philip Arps was sentenced to 21 months in 2019 for sharing the video of the Christchurch terror attacks and has put his name forward for a trustee position at the Linwood school.

Principal Dick Edmunson says Arps' eligiblity to stand could be a grey area and is seeking advice.

He spoke to Susie Ferguson.
