Why I'm standing
I am standing because I want to have the opportunity to fix the real and the important issues that are seriously impacting kiwis on a daily basis. Namely: the cost of living crisis; reducing rampant crime; becoming more climate resilient; improving our neglected & fixing our broken infrastructure, health care and education systems. I also want to play a role in government removing the unmandated, ideological, separatist policies that are endangering our democracy.
About me
I have extensive experience across the globe and New Zealand managing complex businesses and diverse workforces for a variety of different organisations and stakeholders. I am considered a high impact contributor. I have the ability to "cut to the chase", identify the root causes of issues and then design and implement the applicable policies and solutions to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes for the stakeholders and involved parties.
My priorities
- Play an active role in implementing NZ First's policy commitments as a governing partner.
- Ensure Canterbury gets a fair share of the infrastructure budget. Roads, bridges, health, and education.
- Bring the Commonwealth Games to Christchurch based on the 1984 LA Olympics model. No new venues etc.
