Why I'm standing

I believe New Zealand is being run by international corporations and investment companies lobbying our government for favourable outcomes to their shareholders. I'm running to bring NZ back to ordinary kiwis, to wipe corporate control out of government. To have representatives instead of politicians, to have a fairer and shared tax system, where the rich pay their fair share and its spread amounts us all. NZ Loyal is a peoples movement.

About me

New Plymouth is such a beautiful place, and Taranaki has a unique perspective on community with a large international population from the oil and gas industry. As a electrical inspector and business owner I have an appreciation for the predicament of the energy sector and the concern of government selling out to the corporate interests of carbon credits and the billions the likes of Bill Gates will make from the agenda.

My priorities
  1. Support Liz Gunn in her reshaping government to a local representation.
  2. Help with scrapping the tax system and replacing it with a 1% financial transaction tax.
  3. Support the community from the damage done by Labour's World Economic Forum-aligned policies.
