Why I'm standing
New Zealand has become divided with too much focus on what differentiates rather than what unifies us. I am Ngati Wai/Ngapuhi and Anglo-Irish by ancestry but a New Zealander first and foremost. I have spent the last seven years campaigning for equality before the law in defence of our democracy. I am standing for NZ First as the only party that puts New Zealand and New Zealanders First.
About me
I have lived and worked most of my life in South Auckland, I understand the importance of community and the need to work together to solve problems. I am not afraid to speak up for those who do not have a voice. I bring both business experience and the practical resilience that comes from a career in the NZ Police. I offer integrity, dedication and determination to advocate for what is right.
My priorities
- Prevent race-based division because it is dividing communities and fails to deliver solutions.
- Get tough on crime because victims are being ignored and gangs are terrorising our communities.
- Create opportunity in the primary sector because the regulatory environment is unworkable.
