As a trained journalist, I have been investigating huge issues with both communities and the environment for more than a decade. It's relentless and often concerns and questions are not answered. After my petition against water bottling consents reached 114,000 signatures, I knew I wasn't alone with my frustrations. The coastal environment is the same – consents often go unchallenged, jeopardising ecosystem health and some of the country's unique species. That's why I'm running.
I have proven results: my petition against water bottling consents led me to become a co-founder of AWA, which successfully overturned these consents recently, in the Court of Appeal. That alone took four years. I have the know-how, skills and stamina to see things through to the end.
