Why I'm standing
Kia ora koutou, I seek your support to be elected to the Taranaki Regional Council to bring a voice to the decision-making table for the climate, our waterways and struggling provincial communities. Given the state of our planet, it is time for transformative change. In order to shift away from the dog-eat-dog mentality, we need grassroots and collective solutions for a just, fair and regenerative future.
About me
I have lived and worked in South Taranaki with my partner and our children since 2008. I have been a social and environmental activist my whole adult life. For too long, the council has just played catch-up when it comes to looking after the environment. It is time for more progressive voices!
My priorities
- Regenerative agriculture – to stop climate change we need to change from degenerative to regenerative.
- Public transport – urgent action to improve our public transport system with more services and routes.
- Swimmable rivers – work together to change farming practices to protect all waterways and wetlands.
