Why I'm standing

I am disabled and old before my time and associate with a lot of elderly and disabled and our town is not that well set up for a large portion of our population but could be reasonably easily. I would like to give a greater voice to these people.

About me

I am medically retired, so have the time to devote to this role. I have a very good grounding from governmental work through to working for one of New Zealand's largest companies. Involvement in a lot of organisations, from school boards to social activism. White Ribbon Riders against Domestic Violence and Green Ribbon around Suicide Awareness. I want to be involved in Building a fence at top of cliff rather than ambulance at bottom.

My priorities
  1. Disabled and elderly access to parks an general infrastructure to support their wellbeing.
  2. Investigate what can be supported for our youth. Investment here can be paid back threefold.
  3. Fiscal responsibilities, rate payers don't have endless resources to be paying continuous increases.
