Young's final majority was 105 votes - a margin of 0.3% of the total vote count in that electorate.[4] New Plymouth had been one of the seats that the party had focused on as they had won the party vote in the 2005 election and campaign head Steven Joyce felt that 'it had swung further our way'.[5] During his time in Parliament, Young voted against the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill in 2013, saying "marriage had always been a heterosexual institution" [6][7] ControversyShortly after the New Zealand general election, 2008, Young was criticised by the GayNZ.com website for his statement that 'one of my associates was an ex-lesbian' and for his involvement with Teen Challenge, a Christian youth organisation with links to the ex-gay movement.[8] When commenting further, Young noted, "One of the things I do strongly object to in terms of the people [homosexuals] who have made this choice is the presentation of it as a normal alternative."[9] In a debate on the controversially rushed-through Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act 2008, which was aimed at controlling internet piracy, he described the internet as being akin to Skynet from The Terminator movies.[10] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz-election-2008/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501799&objectid=10544368&pnum=0 |title=Final election results could see minor changes |author=Llewellyn, Ian |date=21 November 2008 |work=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=8 October 2011}} {{s-start}}{{s-par | nz}}{{s-bef | before = Harry Duynhoven }}{{s-ttl | title = Member of Parliament for New Plymouth | years = 2008 – present }}{{s-inc }}{{end}}{{NZ National Party}}{{Current members of the New Zealand House of Representatives}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Young, Jonathan}}2. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10551371&pnum=2 |title=New Voices: Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins and Jonathan Young |author=Trevett, Claire |date=12 January 2009 |work=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=8 October 2011}} 3. ^[https://jonathanyoung.national.org.nz/about_jonathan National Party website: Jonathan Young biography.] 4. ^Chief Electoral Office - Official Count Results - New Plymouth. 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz-election-2008/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501799&objectid=10542099 |title=How the West was won - by National |author=Eames, David |date=10 November 2008 |work=The New Zealand Herald |accessdate=8 October 2011}} 6. ^Marriage equality bill - How MPs voted Stuff.co.nz 17 April 2013 7. ^Opponents unlikely to stop history Stuff.co.nz 17 April 2013 8. ^Jonathan Young is a cause for concern GayNZ.com, 1 December 2008 9. ^New MPs under fire for gay remarks The New Zealand Herald, 16 November 2008 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/4891318/MPs-Skynet-talk-attracts-attention|title=MP's Skynet talk attracts attention |first=Matt|last=Rilkoff|date=15 April 2011|publisher=Fairfax New Zealand}} 9 : 1958 births|Living people|New Zealand National Party MPs|New Zealand schoolteachers|New Zealand Protestant ministers and clergy|Members of the New Zealand House of Representatives|New Zealand MPs for North Island electorates|21st-century New Zealand politicians|Candidates in the 2017 New Zealand general election |
