Pat Baskett
Green Party
| Not currently in parliament
Why I'm standing
I believe that only the Green Party is serious about the future humankind faces. Greens understand the full implications of Climate Change - resource depletion, loss of biodiversity, ocean acidification etc., and are prepared to implement the policies needed to mitigate this impending catastrophe.
About me
I am prepared to stand outside the mainstream. I did this as an activist for a nuclear-free NZ in the 1980s and will do so again to support Green Party policies.
My priorities
- Improve public transport, including ferries across the Waitemata harbour.
- Reduce car use by implementing car-less days, congestion-charging and increased parking charges.
- Increase tree-planting throughout the North Shore to create cool, shady spaces for future heat waves.
