Why I'm standing
It is crunch time for us humans and our future on this planet. I am someone who is all about the fundamentals of life. Clean drinking water, rivers, lakes, oceans we can swim in and gather food from, a climate and soils we can grow food in, and a warm dry home. I want to be a part of building our society around the basics of caring for each other and our environment.
About me
My background is in freshwater ecology, working with schools, iwi, farmers, and community groups on grass-roots environmental restoration projects. I have served two terms in local government (at regional and national levels), and in commissioner roles so I understand how the current system works (or doesn't work) and what needs to change. I am not here to muck around with political inaction. I am ready and determined to drive enduring change for our kids and future generations.
My priorities
- Implement a wealth tax on the richest 0.7% for free dental and lift every person and family out of poverty.
- Build Te Tiriti-based partnerships to protect at least 30% of Aotearoa's marine environment by 2030.
- Bring agriculture into the Emissions Trading Scheme to urgently reduce climate emissions.
