Why I'm standing
Democracy has died in NZ. Most of the MPs have, long ago, forgotten that their job is to represent the people in their constituency. I want to bring back that principle of true representation by fighting for my voters. Secondly, as Deputy Leader I seek the party vote across the entire nation so that we can build a peoples' 'army' in Parliament to hold the governing party to account and prevent extremes.
About me
Having lived extensively in the City Centre, I understand the priority need to address crime, transport, homelessness and the cost of living – including accommodation. I have run branches of my own business in 18 countries across that number of cultures and ethnicities. I know how to confront problems, negotiate solutions and achieving results. The diversity of Auckland Central needs these skills. My time on a UK Ministry staff equips me to negotiate with Ministers.
My priorities
- Make the city safe through 24 hours by implementing our nine point law and order policy.
- Ease traffic congestion into, within, and exiting the city centre by suggesting one way traffic.
- Return retail businesses to the centre by allocating central government money for rate free periods.
