"Someone has set fire to a sign on a supporters fence," Webb said. Webb said he suspected it was a "rogue objector" who set the billboard on Barbadoes St alight. The National Party has put forward Dale Stephens as its candidate for the Christchurch Central electorate this election. Webb and Stephens faced off against each other in a political debate held by the Central Business Association earlier this month. Stephens has spent more than 20 years in senior business roles across New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore.
