Mayor of Christchurch

The mayor is the leader of the council. Their job is to promote a vision for the city and lead the development of the council’s plans, policies and budget. The mayor appoints the deputy mayor, establishes committees for particular topics, and appoints chairs for those committees. 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 Christchurch City Council mayoral election.

Why I'm standing

I am the best educated best qualified and most experienced candidate standing for mayor. Anyone who has not grasped the growth of incompetent bureaucracy, as shown in the television series Yes Minister will be swallowed by the beast.

About me

I have run a Boy Scout Troop. As Flying Wing Adjutant at Duxford air Base I administered two squadrons of fighter aircraft. I was the first Cultural Affairs Officer of an English University. Was CEO of Perth Arts Festival in WA. Set up the courses in the new sociology school at the UNSW. Established a postmodern cosmology department at the University of Melbourne. Was a performer and organiser of events in Australia and NZ counter-culture.

My priorities
  1. Improve mental health.
  2. Protect free speech.
  3. Preserve heritage.
Before politics
