Why I'm standing

I'm running for election to champion NZ Loyal's transformative policies. Our 1% Transactional Tax will replace personal income tax, company tax, and GST, it's a revolutionary idea that will transform our economy, creating a simpler, fairer, and more efficient monetary system. My aim as representative, will be dedicated to uniting our nation, ending divisive policies, and fostering unity to create a prosperous and sustainable New Zealand for the generations to come.

About me

I've been a part of the Dunedin community for over 30 years as a local business owner and engineer. I understand the financial challenges posed by heavy taxation and regulations. I'm committed to fostering a thriving economy that guarantees financial security and opportunities for all Kiwis and local business owners.

My priorities
  1. Establish the 1% Transactional Tax Policy, eliminating personal income tax, company tax and GST.
  2. End NZ's participation in the United Nations, World Economic Forum, World Health Organisation.
  3. Establish energy independence including oil and gas.
