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