Why I'm standing

To make Tasman a better place to live and support people in their economic and business practices by changing council culture and making it easier to deal with.

About me

I am able to listen to different points of view. I am not swayed by money or money people. I want transparent representation and honesty within council. I have a good radar for dishonesty and lobbyists.

My priorities
  1. To push back on the Three Waters policy and join other councils that are fighting back.
  2. Protect property rights against forced Significant Natural Areas on property owners but to support regenerative processes.
  3. Bring about commonsense and look for ways for council to make money to get its debt under control.
