Why I'm standing
Auckland is a great place to live, work and play. But Aucklanders are being let down by a council which is failing. All over the city big expensive projects are overdue and over-budget, causing disruption to residents, traffic and business – not to mention a financial time bomb for ratepayers. Council-controlled organisations are out of control and not working for the public. I care what happens with your hard-earned rates and it frustrates me to see them wasted.
About me
I offer experienced leadership, skills in financial management and governance, and a track record of success. Throughout my career as an engineer, a businessman and a board chair I have fixed problems and turned around failing organisations. Governments of all stripes have recruited me to deliver big projects and sort out complex billion-dollar organisations including Vector, Transpower and Auckland District Health Board. I've delivered every time. Now we need to fix Auckland Council together.
My priorities
- Get the big overdue, over-budget infrastructure projects around the city back on track and finished.
- Bring council-controlled organisations back under control and focused on delivering for the people of Auckland.
- Cut wasteful spending and take a hard line on costs.
