Auckland Council

Howick Ward
The Auckland Council makes strategic decisions for Auckland on public transport, urban planning, environmental protection and other big issues. The council provides funding to local boards to provide public services in their areas, and manages council-controlled organisations which provide infrastructure, such as public transport, water and sewerage. The councillors and mayor make up the governing body, which shares governance of Auckland Council with the 21 local boards. The governing body is made up of 20 councillors plus the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in Auckland). Two councillors will be elected from your ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Auckland Council election.

Why I'm standing

We are in a historical crisis, and those old styles and minds cannot help with such a situation. We Aucklanders need new blood and new thinking to save us. Therefore I bring a package of policies and new ideas which I personally believe are instructive, practical, and useful. I'm hoping to bring them into public discussion, if people like them, I would actually realise them as a councillor.

About me

I'm a famous outspoken writer and trusted political analyst in my community, I'm good at listening, analysing and expression. I also have strong connection with communities and rich experience of community services.

My priorities
  1. Accelerate the e-government process, introduce robots to improve government's work efficiency.
  2. Introduce advanced technologies to solve many tricky economic, social, or environmental problems for us.
  3. Struggle to have five Chinese MPs and two Chinese councillors and realise social equality and democracy.
