Antonio Zephyr Brown
Why I'm standing
I'm a candidate in Kaipara ki Mahurangi to promote the Green Party and its principles of ecological wisdom, social responsibility, appropriate decision-making, and non-violence. I believe that Green party policies offer the most viable solutions to the climate crisis and ending inequity in Aotearoa.
About me
I am the Information and Sustainability Officer and shareholder in a $40 million turnover media company that employs 160 people. Ensuring the company's security, the well-being of my colleagues and the sustainability of our operations are what I do for a living. Those are the same qualities that should be found in our Members of Parliament.
My priorities
- End poverty, make sure everyone has enough to put food on the table, paid for by a fair tax system.
- Ensure warm, safe homes, as security in this is fundamental to well-being.
- Water is life, but our freshwater and kai moana are under serious threat.
